Joint Oireachtas Committee on Justice, Defence and Equality

Citizenship Rights and DeSouza Judgment: Discussion

Ms Emma DeSouza:

An all-party motion would be very welcome. We are at a point now where it would really be almost necessary. This has been going on for a long time. Our case has been going on four years, and it is now going to be five years when we go into 2020. However, there have been other cases before ours. Other people have spent years in court doing the same thing and trying to fight for their rights. People are in a really desperate position now in the North where they saw this ruling in October and they feel like they are being left behind, that their rights are not being respected and that they are not being upheld. Who do we have to turn to? Who is going to take a stand for us in the North? A motion in support of finding a resolution and in support of those of us in the North would be very much welcomed, and I would hope to see that.
