This Certificate in Immigration Law and Practice at Law Society of Ireland will offer an in-depth analysis of immigration law and its application in Ireland.

The course also scrutinises how this legislation has been interpreted over the years by the courts, the Garda National Immigration Bureau (GNIB), and by Irish Naturalisation and Immigration Service (INIS), together with the impact of Brexit.

The course examines:
