Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 2 October 2018
157. Deputy Eamon Scanlon asked the Tánaiste and Minister for Foreign Affairs and Trade the status of a foreign birth registration application by a person (details supplied); and if he will make a statement on the matter. [39975/18]
View answerBased on the documentary evidence supplied in support of the application in question, it is not necessary for the applicant to have their birth entered on the Foreign Births Register as they were born abroad to an Irish-born parent.
The applicant in question is automatically an Irish citizen and is eligible to apply for an Irish passport. This has also been communicated directly to the applicant and a refund for the application for Foreign Birth Registration has issued.
