With regard to amendments Nos. 4 and 10, the courts have never adjudicated definitively upon the exact meaning of Articles 2 and 9. Until we are clear on the exact interpretation of Article 2, we should not seek to amend it. My interpretation of Article 2 leads me to believe that it merely confers an entitlement to apply for citizenship; it does not automatically confer citizenship. If it confers citizenship, how can the Minister purport to restrict the so-called automatic right to citizenship, as he proposes in section 6(4) of the Irish Nationality and Citizenship Act 2001? If Article 2 confers citizenship on all those born on the island of Ireland, are Unionists aware that this is the case? I propose we seek to amend Article 2 so as to ensure that its wording is clearer and more accurately reflects its real meaning, namely, that it confers an entitlement to apply for citizenship and does not in itself confer citizenship. Rather than effecting any substantive change to the meaning of Article 2, amendments Nos. 4 and 10 are designed to clarify it.
