I looked through your topics...some struggle.

It's wonderful how you retained a cheerful attitude through all of it.

Irisheddy says Ring up and ask to speak to that clerk's supervisor and explain how you were shamefully treated. better still. Ask your partner to do it. While I feel much the same way you do, do you think that complaining will do any good ? It is possibly more likely to make things worse. I was told...

It was not a ruling under Directive 2004/38EC, as the heading of your post might suggest, but rather under Article 41 of Irish constitution. I thought that the "reverse discrimination" situation arose from the statutory instrument transposing directive 38 into the Irish system. This appeared to cre...

Ref Report Saturday's Irish Times http://www.irishtimes.com/newspaper/ireland/2012/0225/1224312374191.html It seems to me from Justice Cooke's ruling (and Justice Hogan and before that Justice Edwards (Moylan Case)) that the Irish Constitution offers protection of family rights at least equal to tha...

A. I would take a step back on the Article 40.1 argument. Though, for benefit of doubt , I should ask you to clarify. Article 40.1 is one of the most weakest Constitutional provisions in Irish Law.

The reality of Irish and EU law has played out to be absurd, unjust and unequal. I fail to understand the logic of the Irish Dept of Justice and Equality that leaves Irish Citizens second class. I fail to understand the logic of the EU court, aiming at an internal market, and completing it, while a...

Why the restrictions are in place? To put it bluntly, to stop encouraging relationships starting or being used as a side step into the immigration system for failed asylum seekers and illegals. THat is the reality! Many of these people (regardless of their colour, race etc) would never have got a v...

I’ve read through the Judgement. It is pretty much what I would have expected. The questions were narrow, requesting clarification, and seemed to come from the Austrian Administrative Court itself. I’d like to see what decision the Austrian Court finally takes. Does anyone know why Bundesministerium...

Apologies, If the State did not bring it up, I certainly shouldn't have. Except for the Irish Times report, I don't know the circumstances of the case. However,it is very difficult for me to see any justification for arresting, possibly imprisioning and subsequently deporting an undocumented reside...

I completely agree with Walrusgumble on this. the discussion has degenerated into a very nasty form of internet pingpong. The case itself is interesting. There seems to be strong circumstantial evidence of a sham "marriage", not to mention the the moral implications of possibly having child for this...
