Mr. William O'Dwyer:

Once the UK leaves, it will no longer exercise EU treaty rights. The matter is currently under consideration. However, in line with what is happening across member states, a general generous approach will be taken. On 29 March, those people will have status and will not become illegal in the country or anything of the sort. Arrangements will be put in place and will probably involve their being transferred onto a domestic arrangement. The intention is to recognise the fact that they have been resident here and that they would be facilitated under some kind of domestic arrangement given the change in circumstances in terms of their not exercising EU treaty rights.
