Citizenship through birth in Ireland
A person born in the island of Ireland to parents, at least one of whom is an Irish citizen, is entitled to Irish citizenship. Generally, if both parents are non-nationals, a person born in the island of Ireland after 1 January 2005 is entitled to Irish citizenship only if, during the four year period immediately preceding the person’s birth, one of the parents has been resident in the island of Ireland for a period of not less than three years. This does not apply if either parent was a British citizen and also does not apply if either parent was a person entitled to reside in Northern Ireland or the State without any restriction on his or her residence.
How long Have you been here?
It will depend upon ur residency as your baby's father might not be legally bound as you are not married.
