Case Study 1- Education
Marie is a French national who has lived and worked in Northern Ireland since 1989. Marie has two daughters. When they were born, Marie was informed that, as their father is Belgian, her two daughters were not entitled to British citizenship on birth. They are French citizens.
Her eldest daughter Anna was born in Belgium; her second daughter Brigit is aged 15 and was born in Northern Ireland.
Anna is studying in Manchester University and is in receipt of a student loan and an education grant.

Case Study 4- Residency
Dominique is a French national who has lived in Northern Ireland since 1989. She studied archaeology full-time at Queen’s University Belfast for four years before finding employment as a French teaching assistant.
She has separated from her husband and has worked part-time while she brought up her two daughters. Currently Dominque is employed 16 hours per week teaching French in a local school; she works term time only and is not paid for three months (June, July, August) each year.
She pays National Insurance contributions and expects to draw her state retirement pension when she retires. As she is on a low income she has no retirement funds; she lives in rented accommodation and has no other financial assets.
When Dominique started working in Northern Ireland she enquired about the legal requirements and proof of her permission to reside and work here. She was informed ‘we don’t bother with that in Northern Ireland’.
Dominique’s questions are:
1. After Brexit, will she be required to meet a minimum financial threshold in relation to being permitted to continue to reside in Northern Ireland?
2. Will she be entitled to claim the state retirement pension?
3. What official documentation, if any, must she have to prove her right to remain or achieve settled status?
4. How much will it cost to provide the necessary documentation to prove her right to remain?
‘It would be catastrophic for us if we had to go back to France; my daughters have never lived there and the youngest has minimal French language; is too late for me to find something better’ says Dominque.

Bartek is a Polish national who came to live in Newry at the beginning of 2017. He is employed as a skilled operator in an engineering firm in Monaghan. He lives in an apartment in Newry and travels to and from Monaghan each working day.
Bartek will not have lived in Northern Ireland for five years (entitling him to permanent residence) by March 2019, the date the UK plans to leave the EU.

As a worker exercising his EU Treaty rights, he is a ‘qualified person’ and is currently entitled to residency and to access health and other benefits in Northern Ireland.
Bartek’s questions are:
1.How will his legal status, residency and citizen’s rights change after Brexit?
2.Will he be entitled to apply for ‘settled status’?
3.Can he qualify for EU Treaty rights (e.g. workers’ rights or protection from employment discrimination) in his workplace in Monaghan?
