On the basis of the limited information provided, it is not possible to confirm entitlement to an Irish passport. However, if either of the child’s parents was an Irish citizen at the time of the birth of the child, then the child is automatically an Irish citizen, irrespective of the place of birth of the child. The Deputy, or applicant, may wish to contact the Passport Service, (Ms. Fiona Penollar, Head of the Molesworth Street Passport Office) to discuss the specifics of this individual case.
