child born outside ireland

[jhbmike]

I have a situation which is somewhat confusing to me, so calling on you guys for some advice.

We are moving to Spain next month( being transferred with job). Wife is pregnant so baby will be born in Spain.
Because I am a naturalised Irish citizen not born in Ireland what nationality can I claim for the baby. Babys Grandmother is Irish but not born in Ireland, but obviously was Irish when the baby was born. Does the baby claim through the foreign birth register or is the baby automatically entitled to Irish citizenship.

Any Ideas????

If you were born outside Ireland to an Irish citizen who was himself or herself born in Ireland, then you are an Irish citizen.

If your parent derived Irish citizenship in another manner, for example, through marriage, adoption or naturalisation, further information can be obtained from your nearest Irish embassy or consulate.

A person born abroad to a parent who, although not born in Ireland, was otherwise an Irish citizen at the time of the person’s birth, can become an Irish citizen by applying for Foreign Births Registration, either to the Irish Diplomatic or Consular Mission nearest to where the applicant normally resides or, if resident in Ireland, to:

Consular Section
Department of Foreign Affairs
St. Stephen’s Green
Dublin 2
