Here's another interesting take on it from a letter writer in today's Irish Times:

i Rick!
I've been helping my god-daughter's grandfather obtain dual Irish citizenship.
our grandparent must have been proved born in Ireland to be granted dual
itizenship. In some rare cases they will allow a child of that applicant to
hen latch onto that parents Irish citizenship once it is granted, thereby
llowing citizenship through an Irish born great-grandparent. I was considering
rying to do that by getting my mother's documents in order (her grandmother was
orn in Cork in 1869) and applying until two things happened, my Mom passed, and
hen I realized it would have been $1500 for each application if approved, plus
he cost of obtaining all necessary Irish and American BMD documents as well as
ny research fees needed if you yourself dont know how to obtain them. A pricy
ream. Perhaps this Certificate of Irishness is a more economically reasonably
lternative.

Do you qualify if your Irish great-grandparents were born in Ireland? I
hought your grandparents or parents had to be born in Ireland.
