Under Irish Nationality and Citizenship Acts, Northern Ireland is considered part of "the island of Ireland", so if the baby was born in Northern Ireland and the parent(s) were legally resident in the island of Ireland (i.e. the 32 counties), then it is possible for the child to have a claim to Irish Citizenship.rachellynn1972 wrote:You need to explain how your baby is qualified to be an irish. Mere living legally in northern ireland and having baby does not give the baby a citizenship.

OP, can you give us some more details, was your child born pre-2005, or post-2005?
If the child was born on or after 1st Jan 2005, what nationality/status do you and the mother of the child hold? British, Irish, EU/EEA, Swiss Confederation, non-EEA, non-EEA but a Refugee, non-EEA but entitled to reside in the UK under British immigration law?

Re: rachellynn1972. It is not necessary for one of the parents to be Irish:
"Children of foreign national parents:
A child born in the island of Ireland on or after 1 January 2005 is entitled to Irish citizenship if they have a British parent or a parent who is entitled to live in Northern Ireland or the Irish State without restriction on their residency. A child born in Ireland to a parent who has been granted refugee status is also automatically entitled to Irish citizenship.
Under the provisions of the Irish Nationality and Citizenship Act 2004, children born of other foreign national parents in the island of Ireland on or after 1 January 2005 are not automatically entitled to Irish citizenship. These parents must prove that they have a genuine link to Ireland. This will be evidenced by their having 3 out of the previous 4 years reckonable residence in the island of Ireland immediately before the birth of the child. On proof of a genuine link to Ireland their child will be entitled to Irish citizenship and can apply for a certificate of nationality - see 'How to apply' below."
