Sounds like a good idea, but in the U.S., this would be illegal. Baseball teams used to have "Ladies' Days," when women were admitted free or for a token amount. The courts, overstepping their bounds as usual, ruled such illegal.

Hope to take advantage of this offer for a trip to Ireland in November. Where does one write to Michael Martin, Foreign Affairs Minister?

I would love to be among the card carrying Irish. I think it's a great idea! It is a recognition of our Irish Heritage, very appealing to anyone whose ancestors had to leave Ireland though they didn't want to.

Can I get a discount on my mother's family's property in Kerry that I could have had in 1973 peanuts except that I was young and stupid. I won't blow it this time.

This is great. I have traced my great-grandfather's comming from Ireland to Canada and then to Montana and am considering the idea of trying for an Irish passport, but this would be a bit easier for a start. Keep us posted.

Now if they could get the B&B's to drop their prices and the car rentals to be more competitive it just might work! BTW Glenties in Donegal is a beautiful area to tour around.

I have a copy of my great-grandfather's U.S. citizenship papers, listing his birthplace as Co. Roscomon. Will I qualify?

This is a grand idea. Although I have Irish citizenship through my Irish-born father, I would apply for the card. The savings would be an incentive to make a visit to Ireland again to visit family and do some sight seeing.

Good idea. I have all the paper work of paternal Irish ancestry, though my surname is about as English as you can get. The problem for my traveling to Ireland this year is the ash cloud trouble. How many people in North America will be willing to take the chance to travel to Ireland this year?
