BBC News By Gareth Gordon Published image copyrightPA, BBC The chief commissioner of the NI Human Rights Commission has called on the government to fix an anomaly which means people who live in NI but were born in the Republic of Ireland must pay £1,300 to get a UK passport. Les Allamby was speaking at the NI Affairs committee at Westminster on Wednesday. DUP MP Gregory Campbell told the committee the situation was amazing. Committee chairman the Conservative MP Simon Hoare, said it was disgraceful. Asked for his view, Mr Allamby said he had no idea why the government has not fixed the anomaly and said he did not believe the Good Friday Agreement presented any impediment to changing the law if the UK government decided to exercise its discretion to do it.
