The High Court refused judicial review of a decision of the International Protection Appeals Tribunal (IPAT) to refuse a Nigerian family's application for international protection in Ireland. The Tribunal found inconsistencies in the mother's account regarding her husband's involvement in a protest and the existence of a video recording of the event, leading to questions about her credibility. The Tribunal's assessment concluded that the family had not substantiated their claim to the required standard, and the High Court affirmed this decision.
