Ceisteanna ar Reachtaíocht a Gealladh - Questions on Promised Legislation
Dail Éireann — 2022-03-23
============================================================

Michael McGrath (FF), Cork South-Central

We need a resolution to this issue. It is completely impractical to seek to implement this decision of the House of Commons. The Bill has not yet been finalised. We should be clear on that point. It will continue to be considered at Westminster.
The Government will use every avenue available to it to make the case that an exception needs to be made, in effect for people on the island of Ireland, whether they are Irish or are from any other part of the world. From a practical point of view in the context of tourism and so on, it just does not make sense.
