That is not the only route to citizenship though. Anyone with an Irish grandparent or parent just has to register on the Foreign Births Register to be a citizen if born abroad.

They would have Irish heritage, and the British holders can vote by virtue of bilateral agreements, but a passport wouldn't automatically make them Irish citizens - otherwise, millions of Americans with Irish grandparents would claim citizenship.

I'm pretty sure there are no longer "millions of Americans" with Irish grandparents.
It works like this DR:

If Labour, Greens and the Soc Dems formed an electoral alliance, they could make a real impact, but personality clashes are the problem there.

Jaysus, I don't know if the Maria Bailey case belongs on this thread or the WTF thread.
It came out shortly before the local elections that the Fine Gael TD for dunlaoighre rathdown was suing a hotel for 60K after falling off a swing in their bar. (I know, I know) anyway, it's all gone horribly wrong, and her surname may become a political verb like poor old Captain Boycott.

Literally the closest possible electoral tussle still live in Bantry, where a candidate for the Social Democrats lost to an independent by ONE vote, then took the lead by the same margin after a recount, and now teams of officials have been analysing votes for the last 24 hours.

Yeah, October or till the next postponement if there is one (say if an election or ref miraculously happens). Still funny to see the stiff fuckin wank pipped for now but.Last edited by Lang Spoon; 28-05-2019, 22:19.

Fucking hell but there's a lot of right-wing Irish nutjobs poking their heads above the parapets on social media now. Their ring leader seems to be the country's answer to Hatie Katie, Gemma O'Doherty, but there's seemingly a nasty group of Pepe-the-Frog-avatar anti-Islamic, anti-immigrant trolls going on about the supposed extermination of the native Irish and their culture and attacking people online.
Is this a thing that is rearing its head on other media or in public?

G'OD is a bit different to Katie Hopkins. Katie Hopkins is a badly damaged cynic, robotically pressing buttons for attention and money. GO'D has become untethered from reality. She is lost to us. One of the thing that has shielded us to a certain degree from the likes of Katie Hopkins is that a lot of the space that the likes of KH occupies is taken up here by people with real problems.

The video of her going around that Iraqi fella's shop was a great representation of the whole immigration issue. An immigrant warm and welcoming, going out of his way to be kind and nice while integrating into the community, only to be confronted by some shouty bellend spouting made-up shite and holding the immigrant to a nebulous set of values they don't even adhere to themselves.

She certainly appears to be copying KH's lucrative business model.
There's no money to be made in spouting bollocks about chemtrails and all the other stuff you saw last night on Info wars here. She used to be a journalist at one point. Now she makes really surreal youtube videos.

How come you didn't mention her when you were telling us that, unlike England, the Republic of Ireland was really cool about immigration and everyone was getting on just grand?
