That is also my understanding , if one of your parents or grandparents
were born in Ireland you could apply for it.
However, I have a vague memory of them curtailing that option during the
mass immigration to Ireland during the Celtic Tiger years.

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