    The lnks above are on the INIS site and show this EU directive.
    What are the implications for Ireland . Do we see a return to the Irish born fiasco pre 2003 . The issue has escaped discussion in the media and here. I believe it may once again open up more abuse adied by the legal proffession.


    There is a very big legal difference between "Irish born child" and "Irish citizen child" Zambrano only applies to Citizen children. The case clearly said that the rules of gaining citizenship are for the state to set but once the child has citizenship then the rule in Zambrano applies.

    BTW a court decision is not a directive, a directive is a piece of EU legislation. An example would be The Free movement directive 2004/38/EC.

    I am not a lawyer but such court decisions are open to interpretation by individual EU countries. They can be ignored as maybe the case in the UK.
    Whatever manner the rule is applied I see it open to abuse. Eg a woman refused asylum then gets pregnant by a legally resident male to stay.
    There is even talk of those deported being allowed to return here .

    All of this in incorrect. You are thinking of the ECHR. The CJEU allows no such leeway.

    The European Court of Justice can not be ignored by any member state. Yes if a women gets pregnant or if a man fathers a child who is at birth a citizen then the Zambrao decision applies.

    Some parents who the State deported before Zambrano have been granted visas to return and deportation order quashed. If the child is a citizen then their parent must be allowed stay and work.

    The decision is almost 3 years old it effected very few people in reality. I would doubt any women would have a child just so a guy can stay.

    If a illegal women in Ireland wishes to avoid deportation she will have to find a mate who is legal for at least 3 years or a Irish citizen. DNA has been requested by INIS in some circumstances.

    A child born in Ireland is only a citizen if at least one parent is a citizen or legally resident for 3 out of the previous 4 years. A child of a stamp 2 student is not a citizen no matter how long resident. Children of Asylum seekers are not citizens as that residency is not considered.

    The reality is its very difficult to deport such families or women with children regardless of their status. This is still a route to gaining residence here . A recent case too that the Garda cannot now enter a house to deport someone .There are still high numbers of PPS numbers issued unfortunatlely cannot get detailed info on this .

    Can you link to the case, I would be interested. (Edit found reference) http://www.independent.ie/irish-news/family-removed-from-home-for-deportation-deeply-disturbing-judge-29846693.html it will be interesting to see if there is a written judgment and what exactly says, but considering that up until AGS entered the house the family had complied with AGS by attending on the previous date for deportation it seems likely that the constitutional protection of the home was breached. The Judge is one of the best in the area of constitutional law.

    From the report "Mr Justice Hogan said the family, through their solicitor, had complied with all requests to present themselves at a garda station for deportation in October and this was later put back to November 14."

    Don't see why there was a need to breach inviolability of the home when there was up until that point cooperation.


    In relation to difficulty deporting families I am personally aware of families where parent and children deported. But one of the issues is that due to the ridiculous time to deportation order many children are living their whole lives in the country often heading towards 10 years, it may be disproportionate to Article 8 right to deport.

    A PPS number gives no rights it is just a unique identification number holding a PPS number gives no right to residency or work or social welfare.

    This is just soap box stuff, if the children are not citizens as described above your fears are groundless.

    The Zambrano principle only applies in very specific situations. The more recent case law since Zambrano has made that clear.

    Where the deportation of a third country national (non EU citizen) would effectively mean the expulsion of a minor dependent EU citizen from the EU then that third country national must be given residency rights. To do otherwise would be to undermine the genuine enjoyment of the EU citizen's rights to citizenship of the Union.

    It's extremely restrictive so there's no need for hyperbole.
