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.
@Lean Mean Cleaning Machine Luckily his grandfather was also born in Ireland :)
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.
Dad born in Limerick, Ireland so pretty easy to get. Been to Ireland many times and love it. Want to move there.
what is proof of name
My great-grandfather came from Ireland. Guess I just missed it.
sorry sucka, you'll be stuck here in good ole us of a when it's entirely 3rd world mexicans and central americans. i'll be retired living in the irish countryside watching Foxnews.
@@magamaga1827 lol junior, I can move to just about anywhere in the world. Take it to the bank.
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.
One strange quirky fact Mel Gibson has two passports one American and believe it one Irish because of his mother being Irish
Hello,my late father was irish citizens through naturalisation ,after i was born outside ireland ,im married now live in outside ireland ,can my child claim Irish citizen
my grandparents were born in Ireland ; one in 1879 and one in 1880; I do not think there would be a birth record BUT I have seen a baptismal record for my grandfather with his father listed and his mother with her maiden name...will I be ok to apply with this????
Any updates I'm in the same boat
@@chrisschmitt1931 I was able to track down a birth certificate for my grandfather...so it looks like I will be ok
@@jimmycoffey6708 where did you locate it?
@@chrisschmitt1931 Hi Chris do you need a hand? Happy to have a look for you
There are those who are Irish and those who want to be
I have two Irish born grandparents. I wish my father had taken out Irish citizenship when he was alive. My boys want me to take out Irish citizenship
@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?
@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.
If parent received Irish citizenship using naturalisation and parent is not staying in Ireland now, can kids apply Irish citizenship based on Parent citizenship? (Note: Parent and Kids are not currently staying in Ireland)
Is there a form that we apply for to start the process ?
My mother is an immigrant from Northern Ireland and came to America when she was 15, do I have a chance?
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
@@magamaga1827even if your mother only had British citizenship & not Irish, you still could’ve claimed Irish citizenship from her. All that matters is if she was born on the island of Ireland. I understand why you done it through your dad though
I have a Irish passport my father was born in Ireland is it possible that I can live and work and buy a home in Ireland and live there permanently as I was born in the UK is this possible
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.
Thank you thank you thank you you have made my day I'm delighted to hear that I can become a Irish citizen

You're very welcome to Ireland.
Bring a raincoat & you'll be just fine.
@Martin-tn5lm thank the irish people and Ireland make up for the weather.

You absolutely can and should make it happen...I'm an American but both sides of my parents were & are which puts me in a very similar position as you do...I watch how someone or many different someone's are interested in ultimately fucking up what it means to be Irish or even having Irish Blood and I plan on applying
Quite soon...
