    Well?
    Is there a reason for your question? Otherwise that a pretty thin OP.

    I've considered it. I'm not certain either way.

    Can you apply for citizenship of another country? Because if you were to renounce it, you wouldn't legally be able to stay here or go anywhere else...

    Everything I don't like is either woke or fascist - possibly both - pick one.

    Unless we hang FF by the bollox, who knows. We should not give these people the ability to fleece the country any further. Irish people are grand though. It's the political system that is wrong.

    On what conditions? I mean, I would if offered a big bucket of money. I wouldn't for the fun of it. What would I get in return? :P

    On second thought, maybe not. It's not required save for exceptional circumstances. Who knows.

    The Irish are well liked all over the world, the English are not, this is common knowledge, don't know why you did not know that.

    Don't get me wrong, Irish people are fantastic. It's just a crying shame what politics has done to this country. We deserve far better given our generosity throughout history. Our past track record alone is proof of that.

    If you didn't do when they elected Bertie three times, you won't do it now

    We are still liked.

    I am proud to be Irish however embarrassed to be from a country of greedy people that elected Fianna Fail for 14 years and left them destroy the country.

    I would give up my citizenship no problem if required to do so to gain citizenship to a better country like the US or Australia, New Zealand etc. All this talk about Dana is only driven by the FF media in an attempt to take away votes from her and divert them into that ball of Sean Gallahger's arms, he is a Fianna Fail traitor and a leopard never loses his spots remember that.

    Here is the actual form to denounce citizenship. You can even reapply as an as Irish citizen. This does not change the fact that a person born in Ireland was infact born in Ireland, or that an alien was not born in Ireland. Obviously.

    If I gave up my citizenship I'd also give up any chance I have of getting a cap for the Republic of Ireland!!!




    "Fat Chance" I hear you say


    I say "I have a chance?...and it's fat?" :D


    (Terms and conditions apply - I'm 44)

    British is handy if I want to move to Canada which I may consider in the far future.

    That being said, I'd rather keep both my citizenships!

    As long as you are over 18, I don't think it matters really. Not that a decision like this should ever be taken lightly though.

    While mostly ture, that's unforunately not enough to get you through passport control in a lot of coutries!
