Answer 1

I don't believe he lost his right to travel.  Have fun.

Answer 2

The Republic of Ireland will run his passport through a criminal background database check. With a conviction of murder I doubt they will allow him into the country. This goes for any country.

Answer 3

Your prints are not taken neither do they ask about your criminal record when you apply for a passport.

Murder? I hope the Irish are safe!

Answer 4

The company you keep is the name u carry. Hopefully your grandpa get to stay there also. One less criminal we need here. Bye! Adios! Good riddins!

Answer 5

He can get a passport but that does not guarantee his entry into Ireland.  

However, according to this website it would not be a problem.  Check it out. http://www.traveldocs.com/ie/index.htm

Answer 6

He can get a passport but he will need a visa to get into another country because he has commited a felony. When he got convicted he lost his right to use the visa waiver program which means wherever out of the country he wants to go he needs to go through the embassies and apply for a visa.

Answer 7

???? Its kinda crazy but I dont see why not! As long as he served his time... I dont see why he wouldnt be allowed to travel!!!

Good luck! ;-)

Your grandpa scares me! Hope we never cross paths! lol! ;-)
