Merry Christmas Minister McDowell...
Background Links:
Irish Times: Immigrants with Irish children may get reprieve A Letter to Michael McDowell, Tomso is an Irish
citizen child. His non-Irish mother was forced to leave him behind when
she was forcibly expelled from this country.
Under the proposed procedures parents must be of 'good character'.
This issue is about the rights of the child. All Irish children are born equal, and as such all should be entitled to live in the safety of their own country with the protection of their Parents. This right should not be taken away on the basis of other people's judgements on the personality of their Parents. Minister McDowell you have refused to allow these parents to work while their applications are processed, and yet you say they must be economically self-sufficient within 5 years. With the growing inequality in Irish society how do you think Parents will be successful? The cost of housing in Ireland has skyrocketed many young Irish parents cannot become economically self-sufficient. How do you propose that these particular parents become self-sufficient while refusing them permission to work? |
