The reason for my last question was to try to tease this out. We now have an amendment to the jus soli rule whereby children born here to non-national parents must also establish residence. If information is provided to establish the residence of the parents for three years and we discover subsequently that wrong or misleading information was given on the forms to be filled in to establish the entitlement of those Irish born children to Irish citizenship, is there then a power of revocation at some future point? Earlier, I understood the Minister to say that the power of revocation applies only in the case of naturalisation, whereas this would not be such a case. It seems that we are creating a new category.
