I presume that the person in question wishes to apply for Irish citizenship by Foreign Births Registration. If so, she should apply to the Department's Consular Services Office at 1A South Mall, Cork, where the application will be processed.
An applicant for Foreign Births Registration is required to confirm his / her entitlement to Irish citizenship. This will involve producing sufficient documentation including birth, marriage and death certificates, where appropriate, and other relevant records for herself and the parent, and grandparent if relevant, through whom citizenship is claimed. I have asked the Office in Cork to provide her with the necessary application form and details of the requirements for Foreign Births Registration.
