There's lots of ways to get Irish citizenship. I'll list them all out:
If you do not have the citizenship of any other country you get Irish citizenship automatically, if you are born in Ireland.
- If either of your parents already have Irish citizenship, then you are also Irish unless your parent was born abroad and their birth was not reported to the Irish authorities.
- If you are born in Ireland to British parents, you would be both Irish and British unless your British parents were born outside of Britain, then you would only be Irish.
- You can naturalize as an Irish citizen after 5 years of legal residence.
- If your grandparent was born in Ireland, you are entitled to become an Irish citizen.
- If your great grandparent was born in Ireland, you can become an Irish citizen assuming your parent's birth was registered with the Irish authorities before your birth.
- Irish citizenship can be passed from generation to generation abroad as long as one registers their birth before the subsequent generation is born.
- If you were born in Ireland prior to 2005, you became an Irish citizen even if neither of your parents were citizens.
