Are there other avenues open to the Irish Government outside of the dispute mechanism that we know? Are there other avenues through existing institutions? Is there a concern in this in terms of how it impacts upon Bunreacht na hÉireann, and Article 2 thereof? What more could the Irish Government do? Professor Harvey referenced the referendum on voting rights, which it is hoped will be upcoming. However, while the Irish Government keeps telling us consistently that we are Irish citizens, there are no tangible actions in terms of enfranchising that citizenship. I am curious whether, within the confines of the Good Friday Agreement and the Constitution, there are tangible actions that the Irish Government could take in the here and now and over the short to medium term that would tangibly enfranchise those of us who are Irish citizens resident in the North beyond simply the holding of a passport?
