Crosscare Emigrant Support Service: Discussion
10:30 am
Mr. Richard King:
They certainly interact with the broader Crosscare services. To return to the Senator's point about the intersection of the right to reside and how it is assessed, we have found that the lack of understanding of the difference between an EU citizen exercising his or her rights and an Irish person coming back from Canada or Australia comes into it at the initial deciding officer phase. They get a little bit mixed up. Those cases might be viewed along the same lines although that should not be the case.
