Why are people so happy that there is now a rush on Irish passports and citizenship? We can't mind the people we have here right now never mind people who had no interest until Brexit

Who's happy? What are you talking about?

Are they applying to get a passport for EU citizenship or to be minded and get the dole?

Its bring portrayed in the clickbait media as great altogether for the past couple of days.

As soon as the decision was made they should have put the shutters down for a few weeks to assess the situation. Bad eboufg since the good Friday that they've taken all meaning from one by handing them out like smarties. It's getting full on ridiculous now since this Brit/EU thing.

What does the GFA have to do with it?!

If they're entitled to be an Irish citizen then I don't see the problem.

Whereas there was **** all difference* between an Irish passport and a British passport, events transpired that made being an Irish citizen more attractive to people who are fully entitled to one. Let them have it.

*That's not true. The UK often has larger and more foreign embassies.

Care to offer any data to back this up?

Given the cost to apply for irish citizenship I would not be convinced that there will be a massive rush.

Add in solicitor fees on top of that.

alexonhisown · 26-06-2016 08:57AM

OP dont believe everything you read in the news. Brexit result was friday, and you believe there is a surge in Irish Passports Applications from non Irish since friday? I'm sure the process for non nationals to get a passport is not a straight forward one, so unless they all had their forms filled out and documents ready to send if there was was a "leave" vote, it wouldnt be possible to do it that quick. And as someone stated, if they have been living and working here long enough to qualify for Irish Passport, whats the problem?

You must be only delighted in the knowledge that as the UK shuts its borders, the migrant flow will spill towards Ireland. No fear though, I'm sure Enda has a plan!

Because it was when the country started doling out passports to people that shouldn't have one. A good few of whom will be clamouring for one now when they ordinarily wouldn't wipe their arse with it. It was too big a concession.

Who wasn't entitled to one before the agreement that was entitled to one after?

Wanderer78 · 26-06-2016 09:28AM

Hmmm summer time, mad panic at passport office. Think I've seen this before!

What he doesn't realise it's that passports are used to those who travel. And most of those that travel do so fur with business trips it trips that are paid for with money rewarded by being gainfully employed

Let the cogs turn inside your head a second (difficult I know jut try it). Two Irish people have a child, the child is born in London. What nationality is the child?

Don't you start with your La Di Dah logic ?

Third generation emigrants obtaining one via the grandparent rule is a bit of a stretch,wouldn't have a problem with it though.

Passport is different than naturalisation/citizenship.

Both governments must accept the right of Northern Ireland citizens to declare themselves as either British or Irish and that dual citizenship must be provided for those who desire it.
