Re: Bye lads....
Even that's unclear.
You get residency in Ireland, but until you have Irish citizenship you are still a Brit as far as the eu is concerned.
Will you need a visa to go to France?
But France isn't going to have a consulate in Ireland because it's an Eu country
Will you have to travel to London to get a visa to go from Ireland to France ?
Good job all this will be sorted out before anybody makes any rash decisions to leave
