Joint Oireachtas Committee on Justice, Defence and Equality

Citizenship Rights and DeSouza Judgment: Discussion

Professor Colin Harvey:

I wish to flag something for the committee to consider and to identify the theme. This is an example of where Good Friday Agreement rights come up against immigration law in the UK and the Home Office, and it should be noted who the casualties are when that happens. In the context of Brexit, I think we have to keep a close eye on that because it seems to be the outcome when Good Friday Agreement rights come up against the Home Office and immigration law and policy. That is something we need to be very mindful of in the time ahead, that the Good Friday Agreement is not the casualty of some other priorities of the British Government.
