Subsequent to the election of the new Taoiseach Leo Varadkar, the new Minister for Justice and Equality is Charlie Flanagan of Laois, who most recently was Minister of Foreign Affairs.
The former Justice Minister, Frances Fitzgerald has been appointed the new Minister for Enterprise and Innovation.
Recently, Minister Flanagan publicly supported on behalf of Jane Fadely, an Irish American who moved to County Kerry and was later denied residency in Ireland as a result of the Stamp 0 rules changes.
Unfortunately, Minister Flanagan's efforts were in vain as Jane has returned to the U.S.
I encourage all concerned to reach out to the new Justice Minister and request that the issue of Stamp 0 permissions be further examined and amended to allow non-EEA persons of independent means wishing to make an positive economic and cultural contribution to the Irish State the ability to reside in Ireland under reasonable and clear policies.
