The abject stupidity of some people is breathtaking, is the definition of what it is to be Irish so narrow it only includes people born on the island? Or more specifically, in the Republic of Ireland. I really have to say I'm absolutely disgusted by some of the responses to this question.
This is the Irish Embassy's UK site:
http://www.embassyofireland.co.uk/home/index.aspx?id=33718
From my own experience, you need to provide:
- the long form of your UK birth certificate
- a copy of your parent's marriage certificate
- a copy of your Irish parent's birth certificate (mother or father will do, they recently overturned the draconian rule that said you could only apply through your father).
http://www.embassyofireland.co.uk/home/index.aspx?id=33725
Fill in the application, get your photographs & submit all of the above with your fee to the Irish Embassy.
If it's through your grandparents you're claiming citizenship, you might want to ring the Embassy to find out if the 'granny rule' is still in force.
Under UK law, any child born here after 1983 is required to take the nationality of their father - the Irish neatly slip through the net on this one seeing as we're entitled to settle here & have no problem fulfilling the residency requirement for British citizenship.
PS When I say copy of your birth cert, etc, I mean the copy handed to your parents by the Registrar (s), photocopies of these documents will not be accepted so make sure you send them out by recorded delivery & make arrangements to have them sent back the same way. |

If you are Irish-born or have an Irish-born parent, you automatically are considered an Irish citizen. There is no need to apply for citizenship. If you want a passport, you just complete a passport application. You are also eligible, and may apply for Irish citizenship, if you have a grandparent and, in a very, very few instances, a great-grandparent who is an Irish-born citizen. The rules and restrictions governing citizenship come with the application or go to the Irish Embassy website. You are also eligible if you have been married for three years to a person who has him/herself been an Irish citizen for three years (although the rules here changed in 2006). Lastly, you are eligible if you are a child of a naturalized Irish citizen, provided you were born after your parent was naturalized. (If you are considering having a family it behooves you to get your Irish citizenship before you havechildren so that they also will be eligible.)
Call or write to the Irish Embassy in England and request an application form for a passport. |

If you have your birth certificate from Ireland, then go to the Irish Embassy or Consulate in the UK and ask them how to go about getting an Irish passport. |

Contact the Irish Embassy in London.
to get an Irish Passport.
you need to be born in Ireland, or to be the son / Daughter of Irish Parents.
if your Parents are Irish, then you have Dual Nationally, ie British and Irish
But these days, they is not much difference between a Irish and British Passport, except the price, the Irish Passport is a bit dearer |

you cannot hold both an Irish and an English password. You have to pick one. |
