Ruvi Ziegler, Chair of the charity ‘New Europeans UK’, organised and spoke at an event entitled ‘EU citizens – rights and wrongs’ held at Stormont, the seat of the Northern Ireland Assembly. The event explored in particular the effects of Brexit on voting rights of EU citizens in the June European Parliament Elections. National legislation prescribes that, alongside Cypriot, Maltese, Danish and Bulgarian citizens, Irish citizens residing in NI are disenfranchised in these elections – the first to be held since Brexit – as they live in the UK, a ‘third country’ outside the EU. Of the four UK nations, this legal reality is particularly challenging for NI given that, pursuant to the Good Friday Agreement, anyone born in NI may choose to be Irish, British, or both, and so hundreds of thousands of residents hold Irish citizenship. The event featured representatives of different factions in NI as well as a representative of the Republic of Ireland; attendees included civil society representatives and the media.
