The High Court quashed the refusal by the Minister for Justice of family reunification visas to the family of an Afghan national with subsidiary protection status in Ireland. The court found that the Minister had failed to consider the applicant's subsidiary protection status and the severe humanitarian crisis in Afghanistan as relevant factors when assessing the existence of exceptional circumstances that could justify the grant of visas. The case has been remitted back to the Minister for a fresh consideration of the appeal.
