Seanad Committee on the Withdrawal of the United Kingdom from the European Union

Citizens' Rights in Northern Ireland Post Brexit: Discussion

Ms Geraldine McGahey:

Referring back to Mr. Holder's presentation to the committee earlier when he spoke about voters' rights, I will add that it is within the gift of Ireland's Government as to whether it gives its Irish citizens living in Northern Ireland the right to vote in EU elections, etc. That needs to be borne in mind. It is something that is within the Government's gift as opposed to being within the UK Government's gift. I am sorry for interrupting.
