2) Patrick, an Irish national has been offered a part-time position in Italy. He
will be working 20 hours per week as an IT expert in Milan. He plans to
move to Milan with his wife Delina (an Iranian national) and their youngest
children, twins Rosie (18) and Calum (18), who are both Irish citizens. The
twins would like to start studying at university but have been told that only
Italian nationals can enrol at a University course. Delina would also like her
mother Meryam (also an Iranian national) to move with them as she is
dependent on Delina, financially and in terms of care.
The Italian authorities have told the family that Rosie (18) will not be
allowed entry into Italy because she had been arrested in Rome for a
minor drug offence the last time the family visited Italy.
