Institute for Conflict Research

The Institute for Conflict Research’s Brexit and eYou
project is supporting EU/EEA nationals to engage with
decision-makers and to build their capacity to advocate
for protection of their rights. The project aims to
articulate their concerns about Brexit’s potential impact
on their economic and social rights, and to highlight
perspectives which could otherwise be overlooked at
government and EU Commission level in the Brexit
negotiations.

This briefing paper is an update on ICR’s May 2018
paper. Six months before the UK leaves the EU,
despite the government’s assurances, there is still no
information on many issues affecting the legal status
of EU nationals. At a meeting between EU nationals
and MLAs in Stormont on June 13th, 2018 the following
topics were highlighted:

• Lack of detailed specific information or advice
• Concerns about residency
• Diminished sense of belonging
• Concerns around accessing work, healthcare
and education.
