So any update on this ECJ threat from Europe? Is the EU Commission going to continue sitting on their mule whilst the UK continues to get away with denying people their fundamental European free movement rights?

Well, while there is still no news about the ECJ case on the EEA FP situation, here is a great article from my "favorite" newspaper.

Well here we are, it is now the 26 of June.

What has changed? Nothing.

Best we can hope for is an ECJ case that might or might not be solved by 2014.

Happy times.

Meaning, if one of the parents is e.g. French or Latvian, they have to prove residency in the state for 3 out of 4 years before their child born in Ireland qualifies for Irish citizenship.
