Michael -

Agreed! A document lauding your Irish Heritage will be much cheaper than
dual citizenship. The only reason I would seriously consider dual
citizenship, if I were to do a great deal of air travel. Since retirement
that is no longer necessary as my air traveling days are muc less than
during my career days. Although last year we were in Florence, Paris,
London and England.

Cheerio and Slainte,

Rich
