I have been working in Ireland 2 years (I got work permits) and my child is born here.She has Irish passport and we got Irish permission to remain.We don't need work permit for Ireland now. I am looking for job in U.K and my question is: Does exist any relationship between U.K and Ireland which can help me to easier get U.K. work permit or become residant in U.K?

nope, after you get irish citizenship by naturalization (you can apply after you stay here for 3 years after your child was born), then you can go to UK, but nothing else.

Someone said above that: "you can apply after you stay here for 3 years after your child was born". Isn't it 5 years for naturalization ? Does the fact that you have a child born in IRL make this 5 years 3 years ? Can you count the time spent in IRL before the child is born ? Thanks a lot.

9 months we waited and we applied in Department of Low equality in San Stephens Green Dublin 2. They needed more documentation (everything, bills...)
It looks that I should get Irish passport and go in U.K?

I am in the same situation like you, and also I'm planning to do the same thing. Get the Irish Pass and then go to uk. But it depends how much does it take to get the pass. Anyhow thanks for the answer and good luck.

it's actually 3 years after you marry an irish citizen or after you have been remaining as a parent of irish citizen. add a year or 2 to this for the whole proceduer of naturalization to go through - it is not automatic and very difficult.

if you're jus stayin in ireland without making children - you can apply after 5 years and if you're lucky, you'll get your passport in a cople of years (but it is always better to know some local members of parlament )

Are you sure that it's three years if you remain the father of an irish citizen ? Do you know cases like this ? Then it's good news. Will a good lawyer help ?

yes, try to look some of their government web sites - like www.gov.ie, and most probably you won't succeed without a lawyer. Anyway the procedure itself is soooo long. Plus because of many bogus asylum seekers (they are publishing stories here about nigerians marrying local women and pregnant people coming here simply to give birth to the "irish citizen" very often) probably everything will be changed soon
