Cancel the Irish voting rights in the UK
After meeting with PM David Cameron , it was stated, by the Taoiseach that the Irish vote could determine the EU referendum outcome, so Traoiseach Kenny is advocating, instructing all Irish citizens and businesses in the UK, to vote to stay in.
See News paper the Irish World, ( the family paper for Irish people in Britain) Issue No: 1502 d/d 30 January 2016, Taoiseach Kenny's policy speech reported in Pages 4 and 5.
You can't sign this petition because it was rejected. But you can still comment on it here at Repetition.me!
The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:
Citizens of the Republic of Ireland can register to vote in UK general elections. They will also be eligible to vote in the EU referendum.
It is not clear from your petition whether you would like the rights of Irish citizens to vote in UK general elections to be removed, or just their right to vote in the EU referendum.
You could start a new petition explaining clearly what action you would like Parliament to take.
