Lucy Betteridge-Dyson @lmbd1418.bsky.social · 01/10/2026Have any of my British followers whose Grandparent was born in Ireland successfully applied for Irish citizenship? I know I’m eligible but want to know real world experience before I apply. 1261
Campo @campo.bsky.social · 02/10/2026Daughter in law is currently 2 years down that road, appears to be a right faff but she is getting there 010
Nick Stone @typejunky.bsky.social · 01/10/2026Friend Berni got it fairly easily I think. Her grandad was Irish. 010
Nick @finch4077.bsky.social · 01/10/2026I am eligible for passport which I got pre-brexit and that was fairly easy (I realise that's different but might be a useful stepping stone) 010
Frank Glascott @sicnarf.bsky.social · 02/10/2026My wife and I both did (me through my mother, she through her grandad). Surprisingly easy thanks to excellent Irish records on line (birth and marriage certificates etc.). And we’re really glad we did. 010
JMcN @jmcn.bsky.social · 01/10/2026Two of my siblings did it. It seemed to take a while but no real difficulty. 020
Sir Fatuous Pauper @fatuouspauper.bsky.social · 01/10/2026Yes, my Grandmother was Irish so I was eligible It's a bit of a faff to obtain all the documents and get everything certified, but absolutely worth it 020
tobysaul.bsky.social @tobysaul.bsky.social · 01/10/2026We did it for our kids. It was easy. Takes a bit of time but really smooth. 010
Roger Hildreth @rogerhildreth.bsky.social · 01/10/2026If you feel Irish, fair enough. If you don't, why on earth would you do it? 220
Dr Prit Buttar @dienekes.bsky.social · 01/10/2026My daughter’s mother in law has just done this. No significant problems. 121
immimaps.bsky.social @immimaps.bsky.social · 08/10/2026One detail worth having before you start: through a grandparent you become Irish by being entered on the Foreign Births Register, and the citizenship runs from the date you're registered, not from your birth. So any children born before your registration don't get it through you. 000
Mark 🗿🗻🥾⛷️ @hairybadgeridfk.bsky.social · 01/10/2026My cousin did, no problems. Personally I had a more direct route. 010
