How to get an Irish passport

GaelicPrince: You make some very good points. There is a guy who posts here under the name Sir Peter. He knows everything about Ireland. I recommend you direct your query to him.

My grandmother was born in Ireland, she was adopted shortly after coming across the pond. I do not know her birth name and that side of the family has no care for me or anything Irish. Been trying to find information where she was from. All I know she was the oldest granddaughter of William "Bill" Fluery the prince that reigned along or beyoned the boarder with a set of hand cannons. I always wanted to go to Ireland, but the dutch, canadians and british prevent me from going! And cannot get a helping hand. It takes to years if your application is filled out properly by the parent way! Been trying to find a mail order bride service, did the canadians and dutch burn that for everyone? I keep forgeting I'm a prince, other than the times Irish from Ireland point me out and mark to the dutch. It's funny some people believe I'm the one to end the war in Northern Ireland. I can't go to Ireland or talk to anyone Irish, Have sex with any women or enquire about my Irish roots. But anyone born and raised in Denmark witha dutch accent can go to Ireland claiming they're me and you guys line up vergin women for them! Why is that?

George thanks for sharing that information. I agree, they have to get the alcohol problem under control before they can get anything else under control. And if I had a dollar for every time I listened to an Irish or Irish American emphatically tell me how they don't take life seriously, or refuse to take life seriously, or they are never too serious, some other statement along those lines. Although I do see attitude amongst Americans as well, just the refusal to grow up. It's not a healthy attitude to have for those who want to be in control of their life, and recognize and address problems. But I hear it all the time, and it makes me cringe.

For some reason this site doesn't allow URLS. That's ridiculous. So I have to recommend folks to check out a site called irisoifigiuil dot ie. That site gives the names of the thousands of people who are being given Irish citizenship each month. It's depressing reading. All those Alis and mBumbos and Kaczylecsvkis-- we can say good-bye to the Irish as a distinct ethnic people. Ironically, if you want real Irish people, look to Northern Ireland. Their immigration rate is much lower than that of the dysfunctional alcoholic misruled Southern Ireland. Northern Ireland now feels much more Irish than the South.

Its a long shot but you could approach the Isreali's and see if they can give you one.

You don't even have to do a test in Irish history or geography, or prove proficiency in either of the languages of Ireland. You don't even have to appear to take an oath in public, like we make naturalized citizens do here in the US. It's a sad farce for anyone who values their Irish heritage to see Irish passports being doled out like burgers at McDonalds.

If you pass by the Passport Office in Dublin you'll see huge numbers of Chinese, Russians, Africans, Indians etc. lining up to get their passport. Irish nationality is the easiest to get in Europe. The Irish don't value their own nationality--they give it away cheaply.
