Irish Council for Civil Liberties
NGO or charity“Citizenship supports integration, belonging and participation.”
Irish Refugee Council
NGO or charity“Keeping people in an extended and uncertain status does not help integration.”
Migrant Rights Centre Ireland
NGO or charity“The proposals will also prolong the political disenfranchisement of people who live, work, pay taxes and raise families here, but cannot vote in general elections or referendums.”
Nasc, the Migrant and Refugee Rights Centre
NGO or charity“Claims that these changes bring us in line with Europe do not ring true when many European countries maintain a five-year residence requirement.”
People Before Profit
Political party“The proposals reported upon today, of a tightening of citizenship rules, are another performative hostility designed to appeal to and stoke anti-immigrant and racist sentiment.”
Solidarity
Political party“Adding an additional three years to the time needed to gain citizenship will add extra costs, barriers and stress.”
