Question

Thanks.

Answer 1

All people born in N. Ireland can choose to have a British or Irish passport (or both).They also have an automatic right to live in the Republic .So basically individuals can choose .

Answer 2

Yes, we can claim either Rep of Ireland or UK citizenship.

Answer 3

No, Northern Ireland is a British territory.

Answer 4

we are lucky we can hold both regardless of religion

Answer 5

If they wanted to, they could have either one, or  both.  But I don't know of any advantage of that. In fact, the UK one might be handier, as you don't need a visa to go to US, whereas the Irish passport holder does.  I don't know of any place the Irish passport would allow you into that the British one doesn't.

Answer 6

No they're british as Northern Ireland is part of the British Isles

Answer 7

You can claim a Irish passport aswell as a UK one.

Answer 8

The people in Northern Ireland can hold either British or Irish citizenship.

Most Catholics would opt for an Irish passport while Protestants would get a British one.

Answer 9

I believe so. I do.

Answer 10

They can claim either, although I think most people have British citizenship as NI is part of the UK, but ppl born in NI can apply for an Irish or a UK passport.

Answer 11

I have both.

Answer 12

They can choose, as far as I know. But two are possible.

Answer 13
