Me too huge numbers of non Eu Nationals here not intergrating or even legal

I think a parent (mother) should be a registered resident for 10 months before any offspring are eligible for citizenship.

But that's just me being a "racist"

There hasnt been automatic citizenship for Irish born children since 2005.

99% of that article is a discussion of the pre-referendum situation. The rest is about the real impact of that referendum - a 9 year old who's been here all his life being deported.

You'll be delighted with the news in 2004 when you get as far as it.

Why are The Journal reaching back 15 years into the past for 'news'.

That is a solved problem. (thanks McD)

Because The Journal is a piece of shit and their ‘journalists’ should be ashamed to call themselves journalists, or work for such a piece of crap.

Didn't realise scintillating conversation was a prerequisite for citizenship.

In 2004, the government held a referendum to end automatic citizenship rights to anyone born in Ireland, a decision that has grown increasingly controversial in recent months.

It has? Maybe to the "activists" looking at the case. Oh, and never mind that the kid in question received assurances that he would not be sent to China three months ago:

Simon Harris TD, Health Minister wrote:

I’ve just got some good news, very recently from the Department of Justice, which I’ve conveyed to Eric’s family, that there is no imminent threat of deportation. That’s all I ever called for, that’s all Eric’s family ever asked for, was an opportunity for a humanitarian review of the case to take place. The idea that a nine-year-old boy who is as much from Wicklow as I am, as much from Ireland as I am would be told that he is “going back” to China, a country he had never been to, was simply ludicrous.

If the parents are entitled to live here, why would their son not be?

The mother was an illegal over here and was ordered to go home I believe 3 times by the courts and got pregnant over here and is now hiding behind the child.... she should’ve been gone after the first appeal ...why it took 10 years to try to deport her is beyond me

It sucks for the kid. But that's the mother's problem as she raised a child in a country she knew would eventually deport her.

We'd have to get the gay sex legal first.

Well the law is to prevent anchor kids.... the option I’d give is the child can come over at 18 and live as he’s a citizen.... I don’t think family should gain it if they have a kid over herr

If you're born in Ireland you're Irish. You don't have to love cabbage.
Unless anyone wan't to turf Leo out, then I might be prone to a change of heart.

He's not a citizen, neither of them are.

No. After 2005 you are only automatically entitled to citizenship if you have an Irish born parent.

Arghus · 04-02-2019 08:19PM

If you're born here, you should be entitled to be a citizen.

Anything else is a disgrace.

Don't agree , especially when it's been abused by many claiming asylum with a sob story .

It should be earned and not given out willy nilly

Why? We'd be the only country in Europe to allow that.

How does one earn it? Drip infusions of TK red lemonade and a steady diet of spuds for the first three years?

Naturalization is how you do it. Why should Ireland be the only country in Europe to allow anchor babies?

I don't really care what other countries in Europe do to be honest.
