Only Irish citizens can apply for an Irish passport. Does Aontu require someone to self-certify as a.moron when they want be a candidate?
What about Irish citizens living abroad in the US
That’s a whole lot of words for fuck all being said. Sprinkle in a fantasy where some people are framing a passport. At the end of the day, if you’re entitled to an Irish passport, why wouldn’t you avail of one?
While I’m here, I have to give the passport office a lot of credit. I applied for an Irish renewal in the US last year. I applied on Thursday, had the new passport in my hand on Tuesday. It’s an incredible service, probably one of the most efficient.
Naw, just lump on a tariff & a tip and be done with it
Irish nationality law allows for citizenship to go multiple back generations via the foreign births register. He’s referring to those individuals.
As of current laws, if each generation registers their birth before the next generation is born, then Irish citizenship can be passed from parent to child.
Irish citizenship can be passed down generations indefinitely.
So for example: You move to Australia now as an Irish citizen. Your grandchildren register on the FBR, they then register their children and they register their children and on and on, so Irish citizenship is granted forever to all future generations.
Anti Yank Sentiment—Not all Yanks are Trumpets
Aontu trying to sound relevant
Ah yes, I forgot we have two tiers of Irish citizen:
“Preferred”
“American”
Why?
A moronic ignorant take there
Not all FBR successful applicants actually go on to apply for a passport
As said kudos to the passport office for the incredibly quick turnaround for renewals. I know how easy it is to process but still hats off
If only the same could be said for FBRs
We need to reform the citizenship laws so that only the children of citizens (born in ireland and lived at least half their life here, or currently living on the island) can apply. Way too many British and Americans have irish citizenship just so they can grab an EU passport.
The Irish passport service should be a neutral, apolitcal body and should treat all applicants equally, without regard for their background, and any TD who disagrees and thinks they should engage in any sort of discrimination, should be removed from office and excluded from holding any future public office
The kinds of Americans applying for Irish passports right now are trying to escape the United States, not bring US detritus to Ireland. Braindead idea to put the Americans at the bottom, they’re the ones with the strongest argument to seek dual citizenship
Based off of my last experience with the passport service, they should be running the fecking country. They seriously have their shit together.
When I saw that headline, I was sure it’d be one of the lefty T.Ds. You think ya know someone.
There really should be free immigration between US and Ireland citizens
Such noble, wise, and carefully considered suggestions are obviously why this man was elected to the position he is in and are clearly indicative of the qualities that abound in the body politic of our nation. The Island of Saints and Scholars indeed!
What an odd thing to devote your time to and attention to bringing up.
Sick of random TDs just coming out with utter nonsense
“I am aware of “ = I made this shite up for populist exposure.
“I’m aware of some cases where American citizens are applying for passports because they just want to frame it, or to be able to say that they have an Irish passport. These individuals should be put to the bottom of the waiting list, especially at times where Irish families are struggling to get passports.”
Birthright citizenship is not a carrot to be held in front of someone or something to be taken away over disputes. It’s an inalienable right and despite anyone’s feelings on current US policy it is dangerous for us to treat our citizenship rights lightly.
Seems like a great idea.
So considering how fucking effective they are as an agency – Americans will need to wait 2 weeks instead of the 4 days that it otherwise takes…right?
“Aontú’s Paul Lawless told the Irish Examiner that Irish citizens must be prioritised for passport processing, as he suggested that US citizens are “applying for a passport just to frame it”.”
…Correct me if I’m wrong, but surely anyone eligible for an Irish passport is also an Irish citizen? Is he suggesting Ireland stop recognizing dual citizenship?
Renewed my passport a year ago roughly got my passport and passport card within 2 days I was very impressed
Eh no, I think Russia and Israel go first. Russia is guilty of War crimes and invasion. Israel is committing a genocide and ethnic cleansing an entire people from a region. As much as I hold America partially responsible for Israel’s sadism – ultimately, there are worse.
I’m going to say something very controversial, all applicants should be put at the bottom of the waiting list.
^^Because ^^that’s ^^how ^^waiting ^^lists ^^work
Discrimination on grounds of nationality is still illegal in this country. But it’s nice of Aontú to tip their hand on this policy.
I understand the reason, but I hope not. I’m an American looking at moving to Ireland.
And they’ll get it next week instead of this week. That’ll show them yanks!
People who hate Americans for being American piss me off. Is their loads of spooky weird Americans? Yeah sure. Are their loads of class sound Americans? Absolutely. You can probably hazard a guess at who wants to come Ireland.
I would like to think that our passports are the price they are because of the large influx of US applicants.
In all honesty though, the Passport Service are one of the few good government departments.
So are we going to start creating a tier system of privileges based on nationality?
That sounds awfully familiar…
Well, my Yank wife who was been working here for 7 years keeps getting hers delayed so maybe it’s working already.
I can attest that the people applying for Irish citizenship and attempting to get passports are not typically Trump supporters or American Nationalists
