All EU citizens and their family members have the right to move and reside freely within the EU. This fundamental right is established in EU treaty law and the decision to expel an EU citizen is the highest form of restriction on freedom of movement. Two Irish citizens, Shane O'Brien and Roberta Murray, have been issued with deportation orders because of their values. Neither of these individuals has been convicted of a related crime, and my query is: is opposition to genocide not an EU value?

For context, I was raised by a German mother. I am half-German and I like to keep a close eye on German politics. I have been very concerned with the heavy-handed approach Germany has taken to peaceful pro-Palestine protestors. These people are being deported on policy grounds. Will the Taoiseach stand up for one of the three fundamental freedoms of the EU? Will he stand up for the rights of these Irish and EU citizens?
