Survivors of human trafficking have “minimal” supports in Ireland, according to a report launched by the Immigrant Council of Ireland on Thursday.

The EU-funded report examined the special needs of victims of human trafficking who are beneficiaries of international protection in Ireland, as well as a number of other EU states, as the culmination of the TRIPS (identification of Trafficked International Protection Beneficiaries’ Special needs) project.
