No injunction to restrain deportation pending appeal of international protection case

The High Court refused a Georgian national's application for an injunction to restrain his deportation pending an appeal under s. 22(8) of the International Protection Act, 2015. The applicant, previously unsuccessful in his international protection claim based on alleged political persecution and threats, sought to make a subsequent application for protection citing new political developments in Georgia. The court found that the applicant failed to provide cogent evidence of personal risk or to address credibility issues from his initial claim, which was essential given Georgia's designation as a safe country of origin. The court also noted that the applicant's late submission of the s. 22 application, following his detention for deportation, raised questions about his motives and did not substantiate a genuine protection need.
