"Ireland has opted out of the adoption and application of this regulation as we were not in favour of extending jurisdiction to Irish courts to grant a divorce to an EU national based on a substantially different law of the state from where he/she came.
If Ireland were to implement this measure, this would allow EU nationals resident in Ireland to obtain a divorce in our courts on substantially different and less onerous grounds than that provided for in our Constitution as allowed by the referendum on divorce in 1995, i.e. 4 years separation of the parties. It would also mean that the present Constitutional requirement on Irish courts in divorce proceedings to allow divorce only where proper provision is made for the parties involved and for dependent children would not apply in such cases. While there are positive aspects to this report I have abstained because of Ireland’s opt-out."@en1
