Flaws in the argument of no vote leader
This statement is ambiguous and misleading. The Supreme Court case in question is L and O v Minister for Justice. The case changed the previous position, whereby an automatic entitlement to residency was a constitutional imperative.
It decides that, as Irish citizens, no child born to non-national parents in Ireland, can be deported, and that such a child citizen has rights of residency, that Irish child citizens have the constitutionally-protected right to the company of their parents and therefore that there is a prima facie case flowing from this for the family to reside in the State with their child; that, however, such a child's family rights are not absolute.
