Getting support from other people that have Irish citizenship helps

Do we have to live in Ireland? I’m a citizen but live in the U.S. I’d sign it, but don’t want to cause any problems.

Yes you can, make sure to put the right address, you can put it as “other” on the country option.

Could you link some sort of source so I can know this is legit? As it requires some personal information.

The domain name is eci.ec.europa.eu that's from the European Commission (not the europa.eu domain used for the EU and ec.europea.eu which is the domain name for the European Commission. ECI = European Citizens Initiative.

For those who don't know, this isn't “Just Another Online Petition”. It's an European Citizens' Initiative. They're organised by EU Citizens, and run by the European Commission. If at least 1 milllion EU citizens (EU total population: 450 mil) sign it, then the European Commission has to consider proposing that EU law.

I didn’t even realise conversion was still legal anywhere in the EU. I thought they had put a ban on that years ago.

So sad that it’s still around.
