I should have raised it earlier. It concerns a small but vulnerable group of people, the non-EEA family members of UK citizens, of whom there are currently approximately 5,000 in Ireland. They are here under their EU treaty rights. What will happen to them after the UK leaves? Will they still be entitled to be resident here? Will they have an entitlement to a new visa?
