To challenge Republic of Ireland's land trespass law, 2002 which effectively evicted Irish gypsies/travellers from Ireland

Additional Information

On 10th April 2002, the President of Ireland signed into law the Housing (Misc. Prov.) Bill(No 2), 2001.
Section24 made trespass on land a criminal offence.
Northern Ireland, realising the likely consequence of this would be that the Southern Irish travellers would move North, followed with similar legislation.
The result of the new law was that a huge proportion of the Irish travellers, effectively evicted from Ireland migrated to England.
The Republic of Ireland along with the United Kingdom are all signatories to the European Union.
My petition is that the UK should challenge the Irish legislation before the European Courts on the basis that no country of the EU should have the right to pass legislation which effectively evicts a section of their citizens.
