During the protest organised by Residents Against Racism on Dec 16th questions were gathered from activists, politicians, and asylum seekers about Justice Minister McDowell's reported 'reprieve' for Irish Citizen Children. These questions were later written as a letter to Minister McDowell by Immigrant Rights Activists....

Background Links:
Minister Michael McDowell's revised arrangements for processing claims for permission to remain from parents of Irish born children.

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.

  • Will Tomso's mother be allowed to return under these new procedures?
  • Will other parents in similar situations be allowed return?
  • What about Irish children who were forced into exile when their parents were expelled in the cloak and dagger midnight deportations that McDowell finds so appealling. Will they be allowed to return?

Under the proposed procedures parents must be of 'good character'.

  • Who determines whether or not these parents are of 'good character'?
  • Is it McDowell himself who decides?
  • The ill informed GNIB interviewer?
  • Or will it be the communities where the Parents live?

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?
