Committee on Public Petitions

Consideration of Public Petition on Voting for Irish-born Citizens Abroad: Discussion

1:30 pm

Ms Caitriona Nolan:

What if people cannot make decisions? If we want to encourage people to come home, we should allow them the right to vote on who will run this country. They should be allowed to have a say in who is running the country they will come home to. As Ms McLoughlin has said, people come home for all sorts of reasons. I know of several people who have come home to look after sick parents or they just had enough and got homesick. What are they coming home to, however?
