She should be able to get an Irish passport then - ur worries are over!Stryth wrote:Her grandparents were from Ireland before immigrating to America. I wonder if we can work on getting an Ancestral Visa.
Yeah - as an aside those born in Norn Iron are entitled to Irish citizenship too..Stryth wrote:Well before I do a celebratory song and dance, I'll need to find out if its Northern Ireland or Southern Ireland, haha
U should be covered - Irish passport means she can just move here or anywhere in EU, if it's NI, ancestry visa.Stryth wrote:Now that I think about it, will that even matter? Seeing as Southern Ireland is part of the E.U now?
