The claim was made by Sinn Féin following a UK Tribunal ruling this week.

EARLIER THIS WEEK, a UK Tribunal ruled that people born in Northern Ireland cannot self-identify as Irish citizens only – without revoking their British citizenship first.

The ruling led to a claim by Sinn Féin that the British government are taking away citizenship rights from those in the North. But is that accurate? The Evidence On Monday, the UK’S Upper Tribunal ruled that people born in Northern Ireland cannot self-identify as Irish citizens only, without revoking their British citizenship first.

But appealing the First-Tier Tribunal ruling, lawyers for the Home Office claimed that provisions on citizenship outlined in the Agreement had not been incorporated into the UK’s corresponding domestic legislation linked to it, the 1998 Northern Ireland Act. It was only their legal argument that this right does right not make individuals who are born in the North legal citizens of their own choosing.
