I will pass those details onto Mr. Kirrane. I do not need a response on this but I do think further consideration is required. Mr. Kirrane is saying that the approach is not different. Some would say that perhaps it should be because even though these people are entitled to Irish citizenship, it is obviously a different jurisdiction and there will be further complications if, as we all expect, Britain and, consequently, the North leave the EU.

Perhaps there is a need for a different approach.
