Well, the prime minister has already announced that any EU citizens coming to work in the UK from now on can no longer consider themselves allowed to remain permanently.
If my daughter did want to work in the UK then it would be handy if she had a UK passport as well as her Irish passport

That link just refers to short stay visas and the same rules (eTA) apply for Irish Citizens. AFAIK the same points type system applies to UK and Irish citizens if they wish to work/live in Canada. I don't know if UK applications are viewed more favourably.

If the UK strikes new trade deals with Commonwealth countries post Brexit it may include relaxed visa requirements however if the UK have to reciprocate it wouldn't please the anti-immigrant lobby.

Someone else said it didn't apply if you were born after 1981?

Heard it said you'd also be covered for free healthcare down in the lands of Oz and NZ, with a uk passport - whilst the aul wan is still head of their states.

Back in the days WHV might have also been able to get an additional 'living away from home allowance' (aka Guinness drinking fund), as a remnant from the days of colonialism.

That may all change in a decade or so, when they become independent republics and update their flags and whatnot.

There was a link provided if you want to have a look. The correct year is 1983, it's been mentioned a few times.

That's only with reference to tourism though?

And it appears the 1st article posted here was also?

Doesn't seem any different to having an Irish passport in that case.

Can I get A British passport if my mother was born in the UK?
