Every single one of us helps build Ireland together. We raise our families here, contribute to our communities and make Ireland our home. But proposed changes to citizenship could make it harder for migrants, refugees and others who have built their lives here to secure their future in Ireland.

The proposed changes to Citizenship will make Ireland a more hostile place for the people who already live, work & have built their lives here. Shouldn't this Governemt be working towards a more cohesive society, instead of keeping people who are very much needed here on the margins? #IrelandForAll
