Essential workers in Ireland protest against family reunion policy's €30,000 salary requirement and 12-month wait.

Essential workers in Ireland are protesting against the family reunion policy, which requires them to earn a minimum of €30,000 before their spouse or children can join them in the country. The current policy also means workers must wait 12 months before applying to bring their family to Ireland. Campaigners are calling for an end to the 12-month wait and processing time and for the salary requirement to be removed, arguing that many of these workers are in essential industries such as healthcare, food, hospitality, and construction.
