Free movement to Ireland

This is one for those who are looking at exercising their European free movement rights with their families, to Ireland. A useful nugget worth knowing about, again supporting the rights of European citizens - and their families - to free movement.

Found via Facebook -
The Republic of Ireland (Eire) is forced to implement article 5(2) of the EU Directive 2004/38/EC correctly. This new order by the European Parliament resolves the problem for many people since 2011.
