Irish Passports?

I have one and dd (born in England) has one. Dh is raging he can’t get one as it will limit our retirement plans.

What register?
My Dad was born in ireland he lived there untill he was 11 when his family emigrated he has an irish birth certificate
What would i need to get an irish passport.

Actually, I just nipped back now to clarify what I meant!

An Irish passport/the citizenship by birth is available for all 32 counties of Ireland, but of course, the political reality still means that the North is a separate administrative entity.
The eligibility for citizenship isn’t grandly ignoring that, as has been claimed by one or two anti-Irish journalists, for instance. The GFA was after all an agreement, not a unilateral declaration.

Damnit, my head is tangled and jangling from lack of sleep. Not sure I made anything clear at all!

His children will be eligible to be put on the FBR if he is on the FBR when they are born

I'm eligible for one, but haven't applied as a) I haven't figured out finding someone suitable to notarise my documents in order to apply to the FBR, it's more restrictive than applying for a passport even b) not sure how I feel about it given I've never been nor met my Irish grandparents.

Your grandchildren (not your children) will need to apply to be on the FBR, and as long as they do so before they have children then their children can also apply.

Yes that’s what I meant.

Not true - Irish citizenship is available if your parent is on the FBR before you are born and you apply for FBR registration (see category E).

Why should he have shame?

I’m in the process of applying as I have an Irish parent. I’ve been quite a few times and feel at home there and proud of my Irish heritage.

No such thing. The Irish passport covers the whole island.

Yep, born in England to two Irish parents. Have visited hundreds of times.

I do think it’s a bit weird if you don’t have personal ties to the country & have never visited.

Quite right that there's so much paperwork! Citizenship is a privilege and should require a bit of work on behalf of the applicant.

It's not automatic for grandchildren. It's a little complicated, when I registered my son I needed a whole pile of original paperwork to prove my mother's irishness. Still need to get my passport which requires slightly less paperwork, must do it this summer!
To correct an earlier poster the register of foreign births is only for grandchildren, not great-grandchildren, so any children my son has will not be eligible.

I do have a passport, via the somewhat tenuous route of an Irish-born grandparent and an adoption, really just to make life easier travelling to and staying in EU countries. I haven't been to Ireland, but it isn't a requirement of the process. It's not clear why you're asking, but it was a fairly straightforward process (in my case not needing to go on the Foreign-Births Register) and has been really useful.

I was born and grew up in the North of Ireland to one Irish and one EU parent, but I've lived the UK since my twenties. My family roots are in Leitrim but, like many Irish families, people left and settled elsewhere or moved back to a different part of Ireland, so currently my close family live in Ireland in various places but also Spain, Germany, the UK, and the Americas. Because I'm from NI, I have automatic citizenship of Ireland, the UK and my mum's country, and at various times I've held passports for all three. Currently, I have an Irish passport, as do my children. If they have children, they would need to put them on the register of foreign births, and if they live in the UK at that time, those kids will probably feel more British than Irish. My kids already feel that way - because a lot of our family live abroad, visits to Irish family often take place outside Ireland. They might might well live elsewhere, though, at least for the early stage of their careers.

I’m entitled to one as my dad was born there and moved to the UK in his late teens, so I’m an automatic Irish citizen. Visited all the time when we were young and have been back several times as an adult (I still have lots of family there). One set of grandparents remained in Ireland. The other set were born in Ireland and moved to the UK in the late 50’s. My mum also holds an Irish passport through her parents.

I’ve got as far as getting a copy of my Dad’s birth certificate. I will apply at some point. It does seem like a pain in the bum due to all the required paperwork though.

Shame on him.

As an Irish person this really pisses me off.

This has made me wonder about my own children's situation. I was born in NI, both my children were born in England. They now hold Irish passports but if they were to become parents, how would it work for their children re getting Irish passports? Are they automatically on the Register of Foreign Births because they have Irish passports? Or do I need to get them on the register now before they become parents (which I hope is many years off as yet!)?

My step daughters were born and raised in England but their Dad (my partner) is Irish. They both voted for Brexit and are now applying for Irish passports because apparently “they didn’t know what they were voting for and weren’t told what they were voting for”. It makes me so angry.

That’s not correct. My dad is Irish (born in Dublin). I was born in England and am automatically an Irish citizen, entitled to a passport (application currently in the works). I don’t need to be on the foreign births register (indeed I wouldn’t be able to apply).

My DDs are eligible to be on the foreign briths register (and are on it) due to having a grandparent born in Ireland and have Irish passports. As long as each future generation is on the FBR before they have kids then the Irish citizenship can be passed down.

I have one, also have a British passport. I was born in Northern Ireland and have entitlement to both.

Both my children, born in England, got theirs via me being born in Northern Ireland. I applied a few weeks ago and it was issued on Friday which helps with the Freedom of Movement rules in the EU as DH has a British passport. DH could apply as his grandmother was born in Dublin but trying to locate the relevant paperwork is going to be difficult, then he’d need to go on the Foreign Births Registry.

Both myself and my children have British passports too.
