It just occurred to me how many of my friends (and myself…) can’t vote in the referendum because we’re not Irish citizens. Polish, English, Lithuanians and everyone else. According to 2011 census over half a million people. Many of which are here for years and planning to stay.
Makes me wonder if it’s time to review the system as well. Particularly for citizens of EU countries which would have no any other reason to get citizenship. Living, working and paying taxes in Ireland for the past 11 years, civil partner to an Irish citizen, and planning on staying here for good, I think I earned my right to vote?
