The proposed changes include longer waiting periods, income barriers & new requirements that could make citizenship harder to access. Having a secure immigration status matters. It means security & stability to build your life here, plan for your future & fully participate in Irish society.

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

We asked people how they say HOME in their mother tongues… Khuneh; casa; bait; gida. 🏠 Different words, different languages, but the same feeling. And for the migrant communities who enrich our city, home has gained another name too: Limerick.💚 #FlavoursWithoutBorders #LimerickSaysWelcome

From food & sport to music & culture, our city is richer because of the people of African descent who call Limerick home. Know that you are welcome here in Limerick and across Ireland. Thank you to everyone who came to celebrate Africa Day together at the People’s Park last Saturday.

These sudden and unexplained relocations disrupt everyone’s lives & undermine local integration & stability for children, families, and individuals. As one community member in Cahersiveen said, this is about “fairness, dignity, and respect – values at the core of any just society.” #RefugeesWelcome

Communities are being torn by decisions to uproot people seeking asylum who are building lives in towns & villages. They are part of everyday life, working locally, children attending schools. Their presence & contribution sustain services & bring renewed energy to rural communities.
