The UK government has been urged to clarify immigration rules for Irish citizens born in Northern Ireland ahead of Brexit which could threaten the terms of the Good Friday Agreement.
The Home Office is treating Irish citizens born in Northern Ireland as British citizens, meaning they are not able to apply for the settled status scheme ahead of Brexit and continue accessing EU rights within the UK.
Changes to UK immigration rules made by the Home Office mean that dual nationals who are British by birth will not be treated as EEA nationals within the UK after Brexit. "How the people of Northern Ireland can be joined in the UK by their family members is being reviewed. Any solution will be fully compliant with the letter and spirit of the Belfast Agreement."
"I hold an Irish passport but I am considered British. If I'd have been born half an hour down the road, I would be an Irish citizen," she said.Arlene Foster and Martin McGuinness, First and Deputy First Ministers of Northern Ireland, speak to journalists as they leave Number 10 Downing Street in London, Britain October 24, 2016.Those EU citizens living in the UK have been told to apply for settled status ahead of Brexit, which would allow them to continue residing in the UK.
