Your child will not be entitled to Irish citizenship in that case.room1102 wrote:If I have WCATT granted by INIS already, but I have not lived in Ireland for past 3 out of 4 years. If I go back to Ireland and give birth to a child now. Will my kid entitle Irish Citizenship in this case?
The key phrase here is "immediately preceding".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 and neither parent was entitled to diplomatic immunity in the State.

Hi, the link provided is not my link. As you can see that is the info on the official INIS website as per 2005 constitutional amendment. My statement is not meant to be taken as a legal statement but rather to point your attention to a consideration that might be important as per your query. If you are convinced that you child will have Irish citizenship based on your understanding, please by all means go ahead.room1102 wrote:
The above is from you?? link. Isn't this "entitled to reside in the State or Northern Ireland without any restrictions on his or her residence, has an entitlement of Irish citizenship" referred to WCATT??
