    Time for you to shut it on who you think qualifies.
    I think my kids are qualified and the law says the same.
    Not only that my kids are Irish no matter what small minded people like you say . It says it on their passport and it's in their genes :).
    All my family think their Irish too and I have Irish relatives all over the world.

    Anything else is just waffle and pure spite.

    Relax dude. We're talking about your grandchildren. Would they be Irish too, even if your kids had no interest in ever setting foot in Ireland?

    Yes according to the law they would and I like it that way.
    I admit the case is more debatable for them but you start taking about taking away citizens rights (disenfranchising citizens and citixens children) expect a big reaction.

    I'm wondering what the problem is that's attempting to be solved here?

    Irish passports being given out to people who are legally entitled to them. Why is that a problem?

    What happens when an Irish passport holder with no real connection to Ireland and who has never been here gets himself caught up in some drama abroad he had no business with? It becomes our problem, our DFA has to send an envoy to him and liase with the local government and advocate for him. Passports are as much a diplomatic issue as a travel issue.

    How often does that happen though? I think policy should be based on realities, not "what ifs". If it starts to become an issue, then maybe reconsider current citizenship laws.

    By your argumentation, you´re barring them the way to settle down in Ireland and force them to do so as foreigners who have to apply for residence permission and that in spite of their Irish descendancy. Further, as your stance is very much in general terms, it makes it even more cruel to those whose parents left Ireland to find work abroad and raised their family there and as you´re totally omitting the posibility that such families would one day return to Ireland and taking their siblings with them, it comes across as very harsh and that would constitute a consitutional problem.
