The article offers a look at Irish citizenship laws as of June 2004. On June 11, Irish voters will decide in a constitutional referendum whether to back the government's proposals for citizenship laws. These are meant to close a legal loophole which allows Ireland's citizenship law to be abused to get around immigration controls in the European Union's other 24 countries. Since 1999, anyone born on the island of Ireland, north or south, has been allowed to claim Irish citizenship. That includes those born to non-European parents and who have no links with the country nor any intention of living there. "Citizenship tourists" is how the justice minister, Michael McDowell, has described those who give birth in Ireland to secure citizenship for their children and then seek residency rights in European Union states thanks to having an Irish child. Immigrants remain a tiny proportion of the population in Ireland. Yet in 2003, one in four of the 23,000 or so children born in Dublin's three main maternity hospitals had a non-Irish mother. So the government is now proposing that, for children born in Ireland of foreign parents, citizenship at birth will only be granted if one of the parents has been legally resident in Ireland for at least three of the four years before the birth.
