Irish citizenship question

[Fraureuther]

My mother recently registered in the Foreign Birth Registry in order to claim Irish citizenship by descent. According to various sources, I am ineligible to claim Irish citizenship via descent due to the fact that my mother registered in the FB Registry after my birth (the process is clearly designed not to be retrospective). However, I'm wondering if there are any special provisions for non-Irish immediate family members of Irish citizens? For example, would I be able to waiver some of the naturalisation requirements?

Thanks in advance.
