The Minister for Social & Family Affairs, Mary Coughlin recently announced plans to introduce a two-year “habitual residence” test to restrict access to social welfare in Ireland. This followed a similar move in the UK with whom we share a “common travel area”. In both cases the restrictions were announced as being part of preparations for EU “enlargement” on May 1st. After the restrictions were announced Minister Coughlin was questioned about the legitimacy of the rules under EU law. To comply with EU law, the Minister was careful to introduce restrictions that targeted the “inactive” and which also included Irish people as well as EU and non-EU people. On Tuesday 23rd a judgement in relation to “habitual residence” was reached in the European Court of Justice. An Irish-American who was refused a jobseeker’s allowance in the UK lost his case against the British Government. read full story / add a comment
