Mr Adams welcoming R.A.R
well it`s 087 ... ...
"In keeping with the declared sentiments of the Irish Proclamation to `Cherish all the children of the nation equally` "
That statement means no such thing, not in that sense. It was given to mean that all people of various religions be treated equally.
Eric the Red, in whatever sense the statement is looked at the protesters are of different religions and sect.Well maybe because they are blacks they do not deserve to be cherished equally.
It means that all the children of the nation, regardless of race colour or creed shall be equally regarded by the law. Period.
Irish children, whether born to Irish parents, an Irish parent, (or a non-EU foreign parent prior to the legislation which brought into force the provisions of the recent citizenship referendum), are entitled to live in Ireland. However they are only entitled to live in Ireland with such parent or parents who themselves are entitled to reside here.
The family concerned are only entitled to live together as a family unit in such countries or country in which all its members are entitled to reside.
This is also a universal rule of international law which applies to people of every race creed or colour, and effects all children born to parents of different nationality.
If I remember correctly, the mothers of (pre-referendum) Irish-born children were given an amnesty to this rule which allowed them reside in Ireland even though they themselves were illegal aliens - on the condition (which they accepted) that if family reunification was their priority they would exercise it in a country in which the alleged fathers were entitled to reside.
This rule of Irish and international law is not only sensible but also disincentivizes the trafficking of children and bogus claims of parenthood.
I trust this clarifies the position.
