How to apply for your Certificate of Irish Heritage - POLL

Antoman, you couldn't be more timely with your jokes sometimes. Thanks.

What a load of rubbish. If you want to show your appreciation of those of irish descent then extend the right to a passport beyond the grandparent. That would bring Ireland in line with many other european countries and allow people with a genuine connection to emigrate there. Just one example is the Irish - Argentinians who are refused a passport. So much good will and talent being spurned.

It's not called "Rip off Ireland" for nothing. Reminds me of those geneology experts who sat in Dublin airport and produced documents proving the sucker was descended from a high king of Ireland. They even threw in a coat of arms. My father always said our coat of arms was crossed tosg on the body of a jackass.

Why not make it a little more complicated? I don't need any paper telling me I'm Irish Descent..County Cork was my Mothers home case closed!

Heck if I went through all that just to say I have a certificate of heritage, I'd just move there and gain citizenship properly. Anything to help the economy!

Despite being an Irish citizen by birth, I was not born in Ireland but obtained citizenship through my father, who emigrated to the USA in 1928. If I have money to burn I might still get one of these. It's a nice piece of wallpaper and I can't exactly frame my Irish passport.

Any of ye that don't qualify don't despair. Sirpeter and I are banging them out on Patricks Bridge. $100 a pop. Bring your own piece of Kellogs cornflakes box. Crayons and markers we have covered. Original and on the spot certificates. Ask for Cha and Miah.

How did Pearse phrase it? " Mo clann fein do doil a mhaither"

Is this a joke or just another money making scam
