Ireland and the EU - Page 2

Ah yes the Mirror, it must be true then.  I live here and do not recognise any of this.  The only ones affected are those, for what ever reason, failed to apply for their residency and formalise their status.  Indeed there are many more Brits buying property here than any other Nationalities at present for holiday homes initially.  Try researching the facts rather than rely on the Daily Mirror.

Many of us on here have been saying this for years. So the Daily Mirror is now joining our thoughts. Welcome aboard Daily Mirror.

If you have a grandparent or parent who is/was Irish you are entitled to an Irish Passport. It doesn't work the other way round - both my grandfathers were from the UK and I'm not entitled to a passport from Great Britain. There must be some form of irony there.

Here I am fighting for the Brits and not one 'alf drinking, Panama hat wearing Brit will raise a hackle for me. The more things change the more they remain the same.

One day when we are both in Spain, we must get together and have a good debate!

Hi Bess, When I eventually get to Spain I'll be there for around six continuous months. Give me a shout anytime and from our terrace the first toast will be to Absent Friends (from the UK).

Sadly I believe you will find that Mathew does not debate, it is either Mathews way or the Highway.  Heaven forbid that you should  have an opposing view.  Narcissistic comes to mind.

Hi andymac1951 I think your missing my point when I read the article in daily mirror written by an Irish journalist living in ( ,costa del sol) I just felt sad for British people after all they are the people who holiday more than any other country to Spain by the way my profile says im located in mojocar im not I from limerick r o Ireland I have a lot in common with England all mothers siblings emigrated to England in the forties and fifties have lots of english first cousins roughly 20 or so I have been going over to England since the seventies was over their in August at wedding and as most Irish people like to talk to their English cousins about BREXIT 90 % have gotten Irish passports through their Irish parents sorry for this long rant but I think they have got apoint im just so glad I've an Irish passport...because im 64 and im planning on moving to Spain when I get my pension (66) I've have absolutely no doubt it would be a lot harder if I was British...

Hi, I am 70.  We moved here 4 years ago and find it no more difficult than had it been post BREXIT.  The NLV requirements are not that onerous as I cannot believe anyone selling up in the U.K. and relocating to Spain would not be able to meet the requirements.  We are of course all entitled to an opinion and I respect yours and wish you well for your move.

I will raise a glass with you anytime Mathew and Andymac , it would be a great craic to invite Dario as well . Chat , banter and a good shant . I’m back 15 th for another go at destroying kids inheri

Count me in 

Can i come
