Citizenship by Association

[simeon]

My child is an Irish citizen and consequently has an Irish passport.
However, my family & I lives in Cape Town South Africa. I want to know if my child's status as an Irish citizen can be used as a basis to apply for citizenship for her other siblings born in Cape Town South Africa? Please advise..

This route has been tried by many people that I know of in Ireland and the response from INIS has been that citizenship cannot be granted on the basis of an Irish sibling.
