The Immigrant Council of Ireland is a national, independent non-governmental organisation that operates as an Independent Law Centre dedicated to migrants rights in Ireland. It provides information, practical guidance and targeted legal assistance through its in-house legal team, focusing on immigration status, family reunification, citizenship and protection matters.

As a leading voice in immigration and migrant rights, the council campaigns for reform, publishes practical guidance and supports vulnerable migrants through direct services and advocacy. Established in 2001, it has helped over 120,000 migrants and families, and its status as an Independent Law Centre underscores its credibility and influence in policy and practice.

The organisation places a strong emphasis on accessible and confidential client service. It runs an Immigration Helpline for information and guidance, does not offer drop-in in-person appointments, and its team of solicitors, caseworkers and support staff delivers tailored legal information, case work and representation while pursuing policy reform and training to extend rights protections for migrants.
