All-Ireland Agreement in Respect of Freedom of Movement and the Right to Work

Northern Ireland shares a border with the Republic of Ireland and workers are free to travel across that border for work and leisure as well as having no restriction on which side of the border to work. The Referendum to leave the European Union has put workers living in both sides of the border in an unpredictable state with no real assurance from the Government in Westminster whether the hitherto freedoms will exist after the UK has formally left the EU. The Northern Ireland Committee of Equity urges the ICTU  to campaign for Northern Ireland to continue  to have an All-Ireland Agreement in respect of freedom of movement and the right to work with no restriction on either nationality and that the investment that the EU put into both sides of the border for lm and television production will be ring fenced and paid through either the European or Westminster Governments.
