FLAC is an independent human rights organization that advocates for equal access to justice in Ireland. They provide legal advice and take on strategic litigation cases. One of their focus areas is the Habitual Residence Condition (HRC) applied to social welfare programs. The HRC was introduced in 2004 and creates a presumption that a person is not habitually resident if present for less than 2 years, though various court cases and guidelines have established that multiple factors must be considered, not just length of residency. FLAC continues to advocate for consistent and fair application of the HRC according to legislation and human rights standards.
