HC Deb 23 November 1981 vol 13 c276W
Mr. Murphy

asked the Prime Minister is she will seek, in her further Anglo-Irish discussions, to ensure that the reciprocal right to stand for election to the Dail is afforded to United Kingdom citizens.

The Prime Minister

The Anglo-Irish joint study group on citizenship rights identified a number of differences in the practices of the two countries, to one of which my hon. Friend refers. The two Governments have received the group's report; discussions of these matters will continue between them.
