Here is the law concerning revoking citizenship in Ireland.joesoap101 wrote:Technically they can revoke your citizenship but it is highly unlikely that they will do this. It is very difficult to revoke someones citizenship, don't worry about it.
Well, I am intending to keep the Irish citizenship. As far as Irish associations concerned, I have Irish born baby, she will always be my connections to Ireland. Plus, I go to Ireland to visit my extended family members there every year. Also, still have a Bank account, valid full driving license and a credit card too. I also intend to register with the Irish Consulate here in Boston if that's what is required too.joesoap101 wrote:You are selectively quoting a section of the law which is not relevant in your case- In order for you to have become a U.S. citizen you had to live in the U.S. I assume you are still living in the U.S. One of the conditions of naturalisation is that you continue in good faith to reside in Ireland. You were residing in the U.S.
S.19 (1)
(c) 41 that (except in the case of a certificate of naturalisation which is issued to a person of Irish descent or associations) the person to whom it is granted has been ordinarily resident outside the State or, in the case of an application for a certificate of naturalisation granted under section 15A, resident outside the island of Ireland (otherwise than in the public service) for a continuous period of seven years and without reasonable excuse has not during that period registered annually in the prescribed manner his name and a declaration of his intention to retain Irish citizenship with an Irish diplomatic mission or consular office or with the Minister, or -
So again, unless you're living in Ireland, after 7 years if you fail to meet the conditions from S.19 (1)(c) they can revoke your citizenship. However like I've said previously, this is highly unlikely even if you ignore the above. I personally wouldnt test it though.
