Human Rights Commission, said changes in UK immigration laws treating people in Northern Ireland automatically as British citizens “goes against the grain” of the 1998 agreement underpinning the Northern Irish peace process.
Ms DeSouza said the change reaffirmed “a worrying trend” of Northern Ireland-born Irish citizens are going to be “among the only EU citizens within the UK unable to access their EU rights and entitlements”. “So what is happening is the government is imposing blanket British citizenship on the people of Northern Ireland and removing our access to EU rights through this process,” she said.
The UK Home Office initially refused the application on the basis that his Co Derry-based wife applied for the visa as an Irish national, which as a dual citizen disqualified her. Mr Allamby called on the UK government to outline further details of the review British prime minister“We would call on the government to issue the terms of reference and a timetable for the review as quickly as possible in order to resolve questions of family reunion in Emma DeSouza and other cases,” he said.
I don't give two tosses about the EU .. in or out .. But no brit is going to tell me I'm a British citizen/subject.
Does that mean we will never see Dana again?
This is disgraceful 😳
We're just Irish citizens that's the whole point
😡💚☘️
M_AndersonSF Emma is a dick as well. Political point scoring is all her case is!
M_AndersonSF Can’t people think? It clearly says NORTHERN Irish citizens, ie Irish citizens from the North. Dopey fuckers.
M_AndersonSF Hahaha. They’re likely British too.
FrancesClancy2 Nonsensical gibberish. 'Irish Citizen' is legally only a citizen of the ROI. The semantic verbiage of Articles 2&3 and Irish Passport allude to 'citizens of Ireland', where Ireland is defined as an island, which exists, and 'nation/people', which legally do not. NIHRC is wrong.
So does that mean for example Polish people living here have more rights than people born and bred in this country
Oh dear. Even the NIHRC Is spreading the misinformation now. There is no change. UK citizens were never included in the EU settlement scheme... for obvious reasons! Read the documents instead of taking De Souza's claims at face value.
Wait, is Northern Irish a nationality now? How did I miss that?
Arlene will be relieved
Makey uppey identity for a makey uppey statelet.
Just checked. What you meant to say was “Irish”
Irish unity vote should be next step as Brexit has fucked over everyone in the north
There’s no such thing as a “Northern Irish Citizen” they’re either British or Irish or both 🙄
How about one Ireland... let’s start now - N Ireland moves to Ireland therefore EU all around - then one island = one Ireland 🇮🇪
Im irish not this made up northern irish nonsense
lukej91
They're Irish citizens.
This line of coercion is not going to end well for the Tories.
CliffTaylorIT SiCarswell Wasn't there a controversy a couple of weeks ago about newspapers naming only men in photographs?
Don't know why people aren't actually howling at the top of their lungs about this!
What is northern Irish please? Is this anyone living north of Drogheda?
Malachians

'Northern Irish'? Who exactly are you talking about. We're Irish
What dafuq is a Northern Irish Citizen?
NWSharingZone Irish / European citizens dragged out of their EU community by a bunch of privileged Far Right English conservatives aided and abetted by the very less than honourable DUP.
WeAreIrishtoo IstandwithEmma asIrishas
Shouldn’t all of this be clarified by now? While the clowns were arguing in parliament, surely someone had project Mgmt responsibility (albeit on a galactic scale) it’s mind boggling that the due diligence is not yet complete!
