FYI to all regarding Irish Citizenship. New legislation of the Irish Nationality and Citizenship Bill has been announced regarding non-Irish parents giving birth to children in Ireland. What once was an automatic right to Irish citizenship has been changed. A non-national child born in Ireland can only claim citizenship if:
One of it's parents is an Irish citizen or has been living here as a legal resident for 3 of the last 4 years preceeding the birth of the child.
This Bill is in response to a referendum that was held here earlier this year where almost 80% of Irish people who cast a vote, voted to remove the automatic right to Irish Citizenship to anyone born in the county.
I got this info from one of today's National newspapers. See www.unison.ie for the news release under the heading 'breaking news'
There has also been an New Cabinet announced just moments ago with a re-shuffle of Ministers. See www.politics.ie for the news release of the full list. Interestingly for some of us, the Deptment of Enterprise, Trade and Emplyment (the government office who handles work permits) have a new minister Micheal Martin. Let's see if there are any changes to come?
