Morning!
@jasonbell I'm pretty sure you can claim Irish citizenship as you've been living as a married person on the island of Ireland long enough
I'm not sure where the "you are automagically British and Irish" at the same time kicks in and stops.
“Those born in Northern Ireland have a birthright to Irish citizenship, & Irish citzens retain EU citizenship rights. British citizen no longer have those rights, & there will a change in visiting, staying and working in the EU after 1st Jan.”
And the UK is one of the few countries that doesn't need you to give up its citizenship if you have more than 1 passport.
Marriage is not an automatic qualification. I know quite a few English ones married who’ve been declined duel.
The spouse or civil partner of an Irish citizen may apply for Irish citizenship through naturalisation after three years of marriage/civil partnership plus three years residence on the island of Ireland.
However, latest on the Department of Justice website still implies that being married to an irish citizen for at least 3 years (and resident on the island of ireland for 3 years) allows you to apply for citizenship. No updates/caveats for UK people because of Brexit.
So <shrug>, can't comment on why the people you know got declined, yet the rules seem to be in place.
@dharrigan Not sure either.
