Question 2

Part (A)

Belinda contacts you as she is thinking of moving to Ireland in June. She has recently quit what she describes as a “high profile role” in New Zealand and thinks she would be happy in a small town where she has roots. Her partner, Selina, is a Canadian citizen whose daughter Aurora is a US citizen, and she wants to know if they can live in Ireland with her too as they have spent a lot of time in the country already and really like it. Belinda notes that Aurora was born in Ireland.

Set out your advice to Belinda with reference to legislation, residence schemes, and current guidance that you think may be appropriate and set out what, if any, additional information is required to advise her.
