The Irish government is now threatening to deport immigrants on the grounds that their marriages to Irish citizens have broken down.
Women who have worked legally in the republic for several years face being kicked out of the country because their partners have left them and their children.

Notices of deportation were served within days of the Citizenship Referendum restricting access to Irish passports for the children of immigrants born on the island after 1998.
