Referendum won’t ban legitimate immigration
Non-nationals seeking economic refuge are free to apply for a work permit to come to Ireland. Non-nationals seeking an environment safe from persecution and fear are free to come to this county and seek asylum as a refugee. The only impact of voting yes to this referendum will be that children born to parents in either of these groups will not acquire Irish citizenship on the date of their birth but rather citizenship of the country of their parents.
In the extreme circumstance, where, due to war or any other calamity, children cannot acquire the citizenship of the county of their parents, the Irish government will award Irish citizenship to avoid the case of a 'stateless' child.
