While I am able to trace my family lines back to Sir Roger DeSuton who was granted lands in County Wexford in 1169, because my Great-Grandparents were born in Ireland but my Grandparents were born in the United States and never applied for Irish citizenship, I am ineligible for dual citizenship and an Irish passport. And yet, there are thousands who have no ancestral ties to the Island that have been granted such documents freely back during the Celtic Tiger years...what's wrong with this picture?

I am fortunate enough to have an Irish passport - it is bliss!!! I qualified through my grand parents and have had the passport for approximately 17 years.My husband has his through marriage - 14 years. Is it possible for my son/stepson to qualify for an Irish passport? Kindly advise.

How to get an Irish passport? Throw away your Nigerian one, and scream "I'm a Refugee from Somalia"! The Iish don't know the difference.
