Ireland: Refugee Documentation Centre

The Refugee Documentation Centre (RDC) is an independent library and research service which is provided under the aegis of the Irish Legal Aid Board. The RDC provides services primarily, though not exclusively, to Irish governmental organisations involved in the asylum process and to private legal practitioners associated with these organisations. Members of the public and other agencies may use the RDC to conduct their own research. Website: www.legalaidboard.ie
