That brings me onto another question about citizenship. In circumstances in which Brexit is agreed on the basis of the withdrawal agreement, is there any respect in which an Irish citizen living in the North will be considered to be an EU citizen and will be entitled to rights on that basis? Will that simply not be the case? Perhaps Irish citizenship will only apply when a matter is being dealt with in an Irish court or something like that.
