Can a non-national with an Irish-born child live in another EU country?
Non-EU nationals who are given permission to remain in Ireland as the parents of an Irish-born child do not have rights of residence in other EU countries, though they might be allowed to reside in EU countries when the child becomes an adult. Citizens of EU states enjoy extensive rights of residence under the EU Treaty and a series of Directives and Regulations. Persons covered include workers, business and self-employed persons, providers and recipients of services, self-sufficient persons, retired persons and students. EU nationals who exercise such rights may also be joined by certain family members, even if those family members include non-EEA nationals. For example, an Irish citizen worker who is exercising EU Treaty rights in another EU state has the right to be joined by his or her parents where the parents are dependent on that worker. This applies whether or not the parents are EU nationals. Can a non-national come from the UK to Ireland, have a baby then return to the UK wit
