    Both of my grandparents were Irish and like many others they only left to find work. My son and I are applying for our Irish passports this year and intend to move back to Ireland as it’s beautiful and has always felt like home to us.

      It is worth reading advertiser.ie 1 Oct 2020 , page 20. The reality of the New Abnormal. The massive National Dept that increases every year, will lead to another Famine, that is the Reality.
      It will make it quite difficult for everyone, one could expect a EU Property Tax in all member States as the Corporation tax also increases.
      The fragmented health care denies EU Citizens a proper standard, as is their legal right under EU Equality Law.

      In the transition to the New EU with the True Citizen and Language Act, a person born in EU with both parents born in EU will have the right to live and work.

    My mother's parents were Irish citizens but not born in Ireland. All four of their parents were born Irish citizens. My mother is only an American citizen. From what I understand, this makes me *not* eligible for Irish citizenship; however, what are the odds that I could still get it if I apply? Any greater than 0%?

      If you have Irish grandparents who were born Irish citizens then you can qualify for Irish citizenship. Great grandparents don't count unfortunately and you would have to try a different route such as naturalisation, but that would involve moving to Ireland. Best wishes, Ireland Calling.

      @Nathan Mcilveen I’m in same situation as Maureen, and currently applying via my Irish born grandfather. But if I get Irish citizenship, does it provide no advantage at all for my - already born - sons in getting? I’ve heard that if I’m a citizen, and they then apply, that the 3 (or 5?) year resident requirement - could - be waived, or something, in that case?

    • @tomarmstrong3297
      @tomarmstrong3297 Před 2 lety

      @Nathan Mcilveen Thanks, I did a little more digging, and from Ireland’s web site re “Irish association”, e.g. an Irish citizen parent, it states:
      “Minister’s discretion in cases of Irish descent or Irish associations
      Section 16 of the Irish Nationality and Citizenship Act 1956, as amended gives the Minister the absolute discretion to waive the statutory conditions in certain circumstances,..”
      But, yes, goes on to essentially say that just because he/she has that discretion it doesn’t mean it will happen, and in fact, is only granted for special, compelling circumstances (no doubt even harder to get during this Brexit rush)

      It is important to read the Constitution of Eire, ie. Gaeilge the language of Eire is First Official language & EU language. In other EU States to become a Citizen the First Official language has to be used.
      The new EU True Citizen and Language Act enforces this.

      Good questions. My mother was from N. Ireland but my dad from the republic. I got my passport originally thru my dad however I think you can also use your parent from N. Ireland from what I've read.

      ⁠@@magamaga1827yes that’s correct, (unfortunately) the North is part of the UK lol so they’re automatically given British citizenship/passports, however they’re still entitled to Irish passports & citizenship. If your parent(s) are from the the island of Ireland (so, including the North), you’re still entitled to Irish citizenship/passport. Many people in the North, especially the Catholics, have only an Irish passport or BOTH Irish & British passports. So you could’ve claimed it via your mother too

    • @IrelandCallingDaily
      @IrelandCallingDaily  Před rokem

      Yes, your Irish passport and ancestry will enable you to live permanently in Ireland. But you also qualify from having been born in the UK. This makes you British and British people can move and live permanently to Ireland in the same way Irish people can move and live permanently in the UK. The is because both countries agreed to have a common travel area when Ireland became independent. Best wishes, Maggie.
