Louise O'Reilly (Dublin Fingal, Sinn Fein) | Oireachtas source

Sinn Féin actively campaigned against the 27th amendment to the Constitution and the subsequent provisions in the Irish Nationality and Citizenship Act, which sought to deny Irish citizenship to children born in Ireland to parents who are not Irish. It was wrong then and it continues to be wrong now. Politicians come in here and criticise President Trump for the deportation of children from America, in particular those children referred to as dreamers. Yet the same thing is happening here. We have seen attempts to deport nine year old Eric Zhi Ying Xue from Bray. Children like Eric are our dreamers. Are there any plans to change or update the legislation that allows this to happen?
