Re: GFA?
>And the British government has already unilaterally decided to remove the rights of NI residents to self-declare as *both* Irish and British - as allowed under the GFA.
Interesting I get 2 downvotes for this.
Nationality rights under GFA:
https://www.nidirect.gov.uk/articles/about-northern-ireland
"Northern Ireland is part of the UK. However, under the Belfast Agreement, also known as the Good Friday Agreement, people born in Northern Ireland can choose to be British citizens, Irish citizens or both. If they choose to be both British and Irish citizens, this means they have a dual citizenship."
And the reality of how the British government is treating those that choose to exercise those rights:

IIRC This is going through the courts now.
TL:DR - the British government is removing the rights to self-determine nationality granted under the GFA.
