Who is eligible for Irish citizenship?
Irish citizens have unique access to live and work in both the European Union and the United Kingdom.
You may be entitled to Irish citizenship if:
You were born on the island of Ireland;
You have a parent, grandparent or great-grandparent who was born on the island of Ireland; or
You have lived in the Republic of Ireland for a number of years
What is Irish citizenship?
As an Irish citizen, you will be fully entitled to hold an Irish passport and to live and work in Ireland. You would also be a citizen of the European Union, giving you full rights to live, work and do business across the EU.
Irish citizens stand apart from other EU citizens, as they also have the unique advantage of being entitled to live, work and do business in the United Kingdom—a right not enjoyed by other EU nationals.
You may even be able to pass on these rights to future generations.
