Your Irish Passport

[jillyfred]

On a serious note!

All this talk about `passports` I realised mine was out of date!

Does this make me a `Stateless Person`?

Or a `free `one!

Nowhere man will correct me if I'm wrong Dot, but he may not have been born in Ulster or the Republic of Ireland, and or may not be a resident of Ulster or the U.K., and if so the Irish passport fees may differ between U.K. residents and citizens/subjects, and overseas resident U.K. nationals,... and between overseas residents who weren't born in Ireland or the U.K. but who are entitled to an Irish passport by descent from an Irish born ancestor.

There are a lot of variable factors involved both in rights to apply for and hold a particular passport, whether a British or an Irish passport, and with the consular assistance that will be provided and or accepted if needed, in a particular visited country, depending on which passport was used to enter that country,... and in the case of Irish nationals who apply for and hold a British passport, whether they hold and are listed in their British passport as having British subject or British citizen status.

The Ulster born and resident woman and her American born husband, who are both resident in Derry/Londonderry/ Doare,... have found that out and are now in legal dispute with the British government about their situation.

Ah yes dual citizenship. How many supporters of Sinn Fein / IRA are going to obtain a British passport in order to give them dual citizenship ?

I see they are giving them to any old Seamus, Mick or Mohammad.

Don't panic folks !!   wait to see what happens its all hearsay/hype by the Media once again  at the present time .  having an Irish passport while the 'troubles' were going  on was a big problem for a friend of mine  (both living in London ) each  time we went abroad she got stopped every single time even going to France on a day trip. i just sailed through on my British one  N.I.  different times have different problems

Perhaps its a question of Identity or perhaps more convenience.

In my immediate family they hold Irish,British,American,Australian and Italian and 
and some of them are entitled to all.

One is enough for me-I am waiting to renew it when it once again becomes `British`without
the EU bit!

Ah yes dual citizenship.how many supporters of Dup/Uda are going to obtain a Irish passport in
Order to give them dual citizenship

[misssmyth1]

It is all about convenience for me . passport wise.. whichever one gets me through passport control with least problems. but I do  understand  for many people it is important and  how they feel re; their identity nationality etc

Apparently several members of the DUP have one (cant think why ?) and apparently some high ranking loyalist ex paramilitaries have one. But I wonder how many Sinn Fein / IRA members have a British one, or even admit to it.
