The 1956 Act was changed very much in respect of the marriage of a spouse to an Irish citizen in the 1999 amendment to that Act. It is interesting that we made no effort in 1999 to close off the loophole Senator Quinn is now trying to close. After the amendment was made, it looked as though the spouses and children of investors would be treated more favourably than the spouses of Irish citizens. For example, after 1999 one had to have been married for three years to a person with Irish nationality. Also, couples had to be living as man and wife and swear an affidavit before the courts to say this was the case. One had to be living here for one year continuously before the date of application, and for two of the previous four years. These were onerous obligations on the person applying under the marriage laws compared to those imposed on persons who wanted to buy passports.
