3 Key points from the new Irish Diaspora Strategy

The Irish Government has set out a new strategy for the Irish Diaspora. This strategy covers the years 2020-25 and embraces all emigrant communities across the world, including Coventry's Irish community.

3 key points in the strategy that will affect our community are:

1- Ireland will hold a referendum on extending the franchise to allow citizens outside the country to participate in presidential elections.

2- Ceremonies will be introduced to welcome new citizens who gain citizenship through receiving foreign birth registrations.
