EU Treaty Rights & Descendants

European Union citizenship provides for the right to move and reside freely within Union territory.

This right can also be granted to descendant family members, such as a child and can include stepchildren.

EC Directive 2004/38 at 2(c) specifies that direct descendants who are under 21 or who are dependents can fall under the definition of a family member.

The Minister can grant a qualifying family member facility to obtain an Irish Visa.
