European anti-trafficking experts have urged Irish authorities to improve the identification of human trafficking victims and to review the housing policy for presumed victims, who currently stay in accommodation centres for asylum seekers as a matter of priority. The recommendations were made in the latest report on Ireland by the Council of Europe’s Group of Experts in Action against Trafficking in Human Beings. According to official data, 311 people were presumed victims of human trafficking in Ireland from 2012 to 2016. Of those, 197 were female and 94 were children.
