They are just trying to cover themselves for people trying to travel who are a citizen of either Ireland or the UK, but were not born there, and do not hold proof of their respective citizenship. Since you will (by way of your original certificate of naturalisation), it won't be an issue. It's nonse...

Amazing news, especially considering they've already had their knuckles wrapped by Solvit once.

Relay everything to Solvit and have them intervene.

Not really, both those airlines respect the CTA and the entitlement to travel without a passport within it.

Not really, but feel free to do so. Have a read of Wikipedia's article on the Common Travel Area, as a starting point. In short, British and Irish citizens are entitled to move among the CTA without the need to carry a passport. It is expected, however, to be able to satisfy the authorities, if and ...

Only if the wife has been resident in Ireland in conformity with European law for at least the past three years. And it sounds like she hasn't been.

No. You will be a British citizen and, as such, will be entitled to move among the Common Travel Area without a passport. Possession of proof of your UK nationality is strongly advisable, as you will almost certainly be refused entry to Ireland without it. Your certificate of naturalisation plus a f...

Child would inherit nationality from parent(s), if, as you say, provision is made the parents' country's nationality law(s).

Children under 16 are not subject to immigration control. Child would be eligible for Stamp 3 on their 16th birthday, assuming the parents are still on Stamp 2.

It will probably be at the discretion of the Guard. My wife was a non-EU national resident of Ireland and holder of a GNIB card. She submitted hers to the DoJ, as requested, together with her €950 fee and photos, ahead of the citizenship ceremony to which she was invited to attend. We subsequently s...

I went to my local Garda station in Waterford. Firstly the night before, but the jobsworth wouldn't do it, as I didn't yet have my CoN in my possession. Obviously, that's immaterial as the Garda's role is merely to verify identity, having had sight of my driver's licence (or other acceptable form of...

I might be able to take care of this all in one afternoon then, has anyone tried to take care of ...

No you don't. You can apply for an Irish passport via Passport Express if you wish (cheapest method), like any other Irish citizen.

Only for those living in Dublin. If you live elsewhere, your immigration office (for GNIB cards etc) is the nearest Garda station with immigration facilities. Visas, however, are still dealt with at Burgh Quay. So, if you live in Goleen in Co. Cork, for example, you get your GNIB card from Bantree G...

If they do not ask for a certified copy, but ask for a copy, then I would send a copy, for you are complying with what is asked of you.
