Post about the upcoming immigration bill

I saw the recent post about the upcoming bill but it was the first I’d heard about it so I wanted to share the story, found it on the examiner.

Smart brains directly blame to the immigrants as usual. Nothing surprising.

Any mention of whether the 3 year rule if you’re married to an Irish citizen will change?
Can’t find anything about that in the articles so far.

The residency requirements for spouses of Irish citizens seeking naturalisation will also be increased.
The applicant must be married to or be in a civil partnership with an Irish citizen for five years, rather than three years as set out under existing legislation.
They must be living together, and the applicant must be living in Ireland for five years before being eligible to apply for citizenship.

I know we don’t have the full details for this yet - is there any chance the 5 year rule doesn’t change for someone already in the country?
