[@BadMonkeyTouring]

As a professional traveler, the problem with these Immigration stamps are they are often too large, and the officer doesn't stamp the page in a way that maximizes the space for other stamps. Many of them just stamp right in the middle or slanted thereby using more room than should be required.

At 19:50 the driver is 100% right. Code 96 allows him to pull a trailer. This is for people that took their B licence BEFORE 1996. It is now called BE. But code 96 is still legal and I am surprised the officer didn't know this!

[@countesscable]

If the driver ‘went home’ to do a test to get further categories, then he can’t have applied to get them put onto his licence. Moreover, if he is resident in Ireland, as he states, he would have an Irish licence and therefore should have taken the test in Ireland. Something is not right here.

[@jimjam894]

If it’s not on the licence it means nothing a man that worked with me found that out in court + this lad had an Irish licence why would ya do a code 96 for a country you were only visiting and not get it on the licence of of the country you worked in

[@sunseeker8457]

100% right. It is strange that it is not on his driving licence. He said that he has been in Ireland 5 years and the officer asked why he didn't do the course in Ireland. But I understand that it would be easier for him to do it in his own country. But 2 things don't make any sense. A: Strange that the police officer didn't know about code 96. And B: code 96 is old. If he has done the test like he said. Then it would be on his licence has 96. (It is now called BE). So he is right. But my guess is that he was pulling one over the officer.@@jimjam894

The Nigerian is one of those, who came to Ireland in their late stage of pregnancy Just to give birth, so the child will be an Irish citizen. All this started in the early 80's.Majorty of chancers were Nigerians who abused the system. In 2004 a referendum went through, opposing the right to citizenship for children born to non indigenous people. In 2018, Ivana bacik and Aodhan O Riondain, proposed got the referendum squashed. Since then it's business as usual. each and every non natives children became Irish citizenship thanks to labour, Ivana and Aodhan. Any wonder the Nigerian was smirking at immigration bcos she's entitled to a warm Irish welcome. I bet she'll be on the priority for accommodation, health care and supported financially for good.

The child should be considered born under the nationality of at least one of the parents, same issue we have in America, and it should be stopped.

[@JulesOfIslington]

There's a difference between the US and Europe. In the case of Europe, the EU nationality of the child can give rise to residence rights to the non-EU parents, as seen in the cases of Chen and Zhu and the later case of Zambrano. The Chen and Zhu case led Ireland to amend its constitution to end birthright citizenship from 2005 onwards in cases where neither parent had Irish citizenship or lawful permanent residence. In the case of the US, minor children cannot sponsor their parents for lawful residence, and plenty of foreign national parents of US citizens are removed from the US every day.
