Is it true that I can get Irish citizenship as all my great-grandparents were born in Ireland? Proof please.?

Question

A pay site helps me naught!

Answer 1

No, unfortunately not. Your grandparents have to have been citizens. The website below has lots of great info for people wanting to move to Ireland. The guy who runs it is really helpful (he's an American who has lived in Ireland for years)

Answer 2

..but where were you born? You might be able to get a dual citizenship if Ireland and the US immigration allows it (that's assuming you were born in the US). Contact the Irish Consulate in the country of your residence.

Answer 3

No it only goes back as far as your grandparents and thats assuming they were born in Republic Of Ireland. Anyone born in the North after 1921 when the free state of Eire was delared is also entitled to Irish citizenship.

Answer 4

No, it has to be a grandparent born in Ireland. I don't think it matters if it was north or southern Ireland,  Call the nearest consulate,  they have all the details.

Now spouses only by postnup declaration if the paperwork was submitted by 11/30/05.

Answer 5

no.  Has to be a grandparent.

For more info call your local irish consulate.

Answer 6

No it's not. As another poster stated it has to be a grand-parent or parent. See this link for proof: http://www.newtotown.ie/boards/viewtopic...
