We shouldn’t allow people who may not be staying in this country have a say in what is going to happen to it in the future.

I believe foreign residers should only be able to vote if they have approved citizenship in Ireland, have been living in the country for over 10 years, speak English well and can understand what they are voting for, and pay taxes. Otherwise, I don’t think they should have the right to vote.
