Answer 6

Your parent[s] were/are 'automatic' Irish citizens since their parents were born in Ireland.

As You were born to Irish citizens born abroad, you would need to put yourself in the Foreign Births Register to become an Irish citizen, this is something you have a legal right to do.

Any children you already have won't be eligible to become Irish Citizens (since you weren't an Irish Citizen at the time of their birth), however, and children you may subsequently have will be entitled to become Irish the same way you can.

Answer 7

Ireland is part of EU. Under EU law, people moving into their country of origin can claim dual citizenship for purposes such as national health care. How far back - parents, grandparents - depends on the specific nation. Call the embassy.
