Couple forced to live apart, between Northern Ireland and Republic of Ireland, because of post-Brexit immigration rules say their lives have been left in limbo

Corrinne Giles worked in Letterkenny University Hospital's emergency department during the Covid-19 pandemic.

She could also face deportation if she enters Northern Ireland to meet up with her husband without the required permit. When the UK left the EU that route ended, however, the UK government pledged to keep the visa-free door open until March next year.The couple's EU family permit ceased to be recognised after Brexit by the UKHome Office, which now requires applicants to be issued with a UK issued family permit.

Its absolutely lunacy for these two loving individuals to be forced to live apart! Who's making money off there right to be together! My daughters boyfriend lives In SouthHampton UK and with this Covid thing just trying to visit has been a strain! Its rules also and he has MS!

They should have planned it better. Obviously didn't think it through or just attention seeking

Ahah!!!? bullocks

Why can't he move to Donnegal? He only works in marketing.

This literally didn't happen scummedia

Eh?

east and west Germany this is not 🤦‍♂️

Was 5 months ago as early as they could apply ?

Why is one based in Ireland and the other based in NI? Why don’t they just live together in either place?

Emigrate to Newport Beach, CA. No one will notice.

What nonsense. It's 15 mins down the road

Absolute bollox they can be together if they wanted too.

Is it decidedly more difficult than having to live between Turkey and Iraq?

All the fault of the nasty EU.

Another brexshit bonus, just because our self serving government didn't want themselves and their wealthy mates to have to pay their taxes.
