Angry Court Rules All Born in N.Ireland are British, Not Irish

Outrage as UK Court Rules All Born in Northern Ireland are British, Not Irish

Both Sinn Fein and the Irish government have slammed a Belfast court judgment that people born in Northern Ireland are legally British not Irish unless they renounce their British citizenship.

IrishCentral 15 OCT 2019


Sinn Fein described the court ruling as "trampling over the Good Friday Agreement".

The judges found that the relevant act was the British Nationalities law and that had not been replaced by the Good Friday Agreement in legal terms. The Good Friday Agreement allowed for residents of Northern Ireland to choose Irish or British citizenship but the British government never gave it the force of law.

"This decision from the court today is a disgracefully retrograde step," Mary Lou McDonald, Sinn Fein president said.

Foreign Minister Simon Coveney also voiced his anger at the finding that people born in Northern Ireland are automatically British.

"Citizenship and Identity provisions are critical to the Good Friday Agreement (GFA)," he said.

"The UK Govt has pledged to review rules around citizenship and deliver a long-term solution consistent with GFA. An outcome is urgently needed and I will raise this again with Secretary of State for Northern Ireland tomorrow."

The case involved Emma DeSouza, from Magherafelt, Co Derry, who applied for a residence card for Northern Ireland for her US-born husband Jake. She identified herself as an Irish citizen.

The British Home Office -rejected the application stating it considered her British because she was born in Northern Ireland. They told her to reapply under British citizenship or take up Irish citizenship and renounce her British citizenship.

She made clear that she never considered herself British, so how she asked could she renounce citizenship she never had?

She won her first appeal but the Home Office appealed to a higher court based in Belfast and won.




Sinn Fein President, Mary Lou McDonald.


McDonald TD said "The Good Friday Agreement is crystal clear on this in terms of citizenship. Emma De Souza is an Irish citizen and it is disgraceful that she should have to go to court to prove it.

"The British government is a co-guarantor of the Good Friday Agreement, but yet it is trampling all over it.

DeSouza vowed to fight on stating everyone in Northern Ireland had the right to their own identity.
