PQ 274
274 Aengus Ó Snodaigh asked the Minister for Justice, Equality and Law Reform if, as a result of a change in policy, a non-EU spouse of an Irish or EU citizen now may not work without a work permit during the approximately 16 months it takes for their residency application to be processed; when this change in policy took effect and the reason for it; if such a family is eligible for social welfare in the event that the non-EU spouse is unable to obtain a work permit and the Irish or EU spouse’s income alone is not enough to support the family; if availing of social welfare in such cases will negatively impact on the non-EU spouse’s future application for naturalisation; and if he will consider granting non-EU spouses permission to work during the processing of their application, as is the case in many other countries including the USA and Britain.
