Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 9 July 2013
141. Deputy Michelle Mulherin asked the Tánaiste and Minister for Foreign Affairs and Trade the reciprocal arrangements that exist between Ireland and Australia for persons wishing to apply for citizenship in either jurisdiction; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [33463/13]
View answerIt is not the practice for Ireland to enter into reciprocal arrangements with other countries relating to the granting of citizenship and no such arrangement exists with Australia. The conditions for obtaining Irish citizenship are a matter for the Minister for Justice and Equality. Irish citizens may obtain Australian citizenship through meeting the requirements outlined under Australian law.
