How can you get Irish citizenship?

Answer 1

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.
