non EU Parent of Irish Born Child 3 out 4 Years Clause

[hishamsait]

Hello Team,

I have read all the threads about a Irish Born Child of a non EU Parent will be granted an Irish Citizenships if one of the parent has resided in Ireland for an immediate 3 Out 4 previous Years, however i'm confused does this mean continuous stay of 3 out 4 years or a total of 3 out 4 years i.e. 1095 out of 1460 Days.

Any advice will be highly appreciated.

It means a legal resident

Yes, Thank you for your reply, however we are still the legal resident but we are occasionally traveling back and forth from Ireland. and some times the stays are 2 months long in a given year. that means it will be 2 years and 6 months in the last 3 years being a legal resident.

Thank you kindly advice

Whether your absences constitute a break in residence might be a question for a solicitor. I know that when I applied for my kids' passports it didn't even come up as a question (unlike naturalization) but best to talk to a professional than take advice from a stranger on the internet.
