Abstract

The Common Travel Area (CTA) promises – and has delivered – extraordinary benefits for British and Irish citizens for over a century. Here, we briefly outline the scattered and diverse legal norms around the CTA. We then look at how it encapsulates a narrow view of citizenship before briefly outlining the challenges posed by Covid which underline how important political goodwill is to this free movement arrangement.
