Or are they basically out of luck?
Thanks in advance
How did you get citizenship? Were you entitled to it by decent , birth in Ireland or naturalisation?
I know you said you "claimed" Irish Citizenship after the child was born, but you might have being entitled to it (but did nothing) before child was born
If the first two, then technically your child is Irish, provided registered
If the latter, yes you can apply on the child's (under 18) behalf for citizenship (Normally takes about 6 months) if the child lived here for 5 years
What is the specifics in your case?
