Gearing up for the 12th

Just saw Cummings to leave Downing St https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-politics-54925322

You're right and that seems logical.

Entitlement to Irish citizenship

What is Irish citizenship and who can become an Irish citizen?

www.citizensinformation.ie

I read this but I still can’t work out whether it applies to Northern Ireland or just those residing in the republic. I’m British born in England but I’ve been in NI for a number of years and this is my forever home now.
I maybe need to do a few email enquiries and see where I stand ...

I think it's more likely that we cave in sadly. Yes it will damage the EU but the damage is spread amongst 27 countries, where as for us, it's just us who will take the hit. :-(

So a deal has been struck! Still trying to find a good explanation of how they’ve solved the Irish problem...

 

[Causewaygal]

This is worth checking but I think you may need to be resident in the Republic of Ireland to gain citizenship via naturalisation.

That’s what I feared We have an apartment in Limerick but we don’t actually reside there. My husband works in the Republic a lot and the mortgage was cheaper than renting ... I love NI but I hate being part of the UK

Oh no I totally agree with you I'm just wondering if it's all been signed and sealed is there any going back? I guess what they really wanted was a hard border.

Have the final papers been signed between the UK and EU ? the unionists could make it very difficult to get goods through even to the detriment of their own the EU might decide it's not worth the hassle .

There's not much time left whatever happens and now the ringmaster is going who'll run the circus

 

[monga]

Yes I know that but they've been saying all week they're still pushing ahead with it ? They’re 95% in agreement whatever that means https://www.rte.ie/news/2020/1120/1179401-brexit/

Hope the north’s included in this

 

[monga]

It's the same deal that we had while being in the EU, and it's only for a year.

Yeah but how will it work if there's a no deal ? or is it a pos in that Boris will bend to Brussels demands ?

 

[monga]

Brexit in doubt apparently https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/ar...m-plans-doubt-PM-signals-softer-approach.html

Old thread, but does anyone else like that you get a stamp in your passport each time now?
At one busy airport (Amsterdam) it did take a few extra mins for the all other passports immigration to go through but most airports i go through are small and there's one line for all.

I dont carry a British passport but wouldn't like it personally. Some people have not had theirs stamped on exit which could cause headaches and worry. I imagine mistakes like that will happen less though as time goes on.

Boris is standing his ground

 

[monga]

Still no further forward and may already be too late https://www.rte.ie/news/2020/1116/1178364-brexit-talks-resume/

 

[monga]

The UK can’t be interested in striking a deal it’s dragging on to long Coveney’s said they’ll be looking at a no deal very shortly https://www.rte.ie/news/brexit/2020/1203/1182042-brexit-talks/

It was limited before. The UK wasn't in Schengen.

No it wasnt? Im referring to the 90 day rule. Being EU means zero restrictions. Ireland for example are not in Schengen but are not subject to time restrictions.

I bet it’s Brino. Expect Farage and the others to Chuck a tantrum when all the details come out.

I'm counting on it.......

Particularly if Farage gets his Brexit/Reform/Wankers party to stand in opposition. Farage is a media whore. He really needs to keep himself in the public for ego reasons....
