Don't think you can apply for Irish citizenship. Below is an extract from the information leaflet

Not sure about British citizenship. But it is perfectly valid for Irish citizenship.

But I'd say that'll be ok

Sorry for the confusion. Just wanted to say that kind of situation is accepted for Irish citizen ship. i.e., if a person is resident in the state for a total of 5 years in the last 8 years.

Again, sorry for the confusion.

I wanted to say that situation is ok for your British citizenship.

In order to naturalise as an Irish Citizen, you must be living in this State (ie 26 counties) for 5 years, including 1 year continous. This is the only way to obtain citizenship of Ireland, in your situation, unless, of course you married an Irish person, though you would still need to live in the 26 counties.

The provision regarding obtaining Irish Citizenship, even though you are in the North and under British jurisidiction does not apply to you. The original purpose (and without taking into account non irish / non british residents) was to recognise the political situation between both communitites in the north. You were born in neither jurisidictions

Now of course, if you had a child born in Northern Ireland, and you were legal under British Immgiration Law, then the child might be entitled to Irish Citizenship

With regard to British Citizenship, that will be something you will have to check up on , but there is not much difference in the requirements. I would imagine you should have little difficulty meeting the British requirements

It does not sound like you will be eligible for British residency (ILR), as you are not allowed any periods out of the country greater than 3 months, and/or 6 months in total over the 5 years unless for work reasons or annual paid leave.
