Irish Law

Post by lampost » Tue Oct 17, 2006 3:45 pm

Hi everyone
I have worked in N Ireland for 5 years on a non-EU passport. Is this basis enough to apply for an irish passport ?
Many thanks

Not unless you're married to an Irish citizen, sorry. Why not plan to get British citizenship once you qualify?

If youre married to someone from n ireland they are entitled to be an irish and british citizen. just apply for british citizenship, assuming you've had ILR for 1 year

Not in all instances.

Everyone born in northern ireland before 2005 is entitled to be an irish citizen, same counts for anyone born in the republic of ireland.

In which instances is this not the case ignoring immigrants who would not be considered 'from n ireland' as i mentioned in my previous post.

The "not in all instances" referred to immigrants into Northern Ireland, British citizens from elsewhere, and certain people born in 2005 or later.

If someone is naturalised British they are entitled to say they are "from" the United Kingdom, including Northern Ireland.
