Irish Passport & EU Freedom or stay Brit for SC Security clearance work

[Tightfit]

Being born in the UK but of Northern Irish parents with the right for me to
apply for an Irish Passport and continue working both here in the UK and
in Ireland and the rest of the European Union, following final Brexit.

Which would be more beneficial to me ?

Remaining a British citizen with only a British passport in order to secure those
must be eligible for SC Security cleared jobs ( but only in the UK )

Or applying for the right to a Southern Irish Passport and broadening my
contracting horizons ( as I speak a couple of European languages )
so I can still continue to carry on contracting in the UK but also continue
to carry out any Contract work I fancy in the EU as well following
final Brexit.

The feedback I'm getting so far is - go for the Irish Passport as the SC
Security cleared jobs are not all they are cracked up to be and are situated
in those parts of the UK Contractors wouldn't be seen dead in
and besides everything else, your likely to spend less time on the
bench with an Irish Passport than a British one after final Brexit.

Nevertheless - there's an awful lot of SC Security work about these days
and growing in numbers all the time.

So you are deciding your passport based on contract work? That's a new one. Bit hardcore that innit?

I would go for the Irish passport, then when the war with Germany starts you can hide in a pub.

Vast majority of contracts don't need SC. Go for the Irish passport.

Why can't you keep both passports?

Applying for my German passport, don't have to give up my UK passport until Brexit completes.

Either way, still manage to work on SC jobs in the UK despite being resident in Germany.

I would go for the Irish passport, then when the war with Germany starts you can bomb a pub.

I agree with the above Ireland allows dual citizenship, go for it. You can then do SC work in the UK or work in the EU.

Eh? These guys are jocks. I'm certain they've never seen the sun.

Dual Nationality isn't an automatic blocker for SC, especially if the 2nd nationality is "friendly".

If it was Russian, Chinese or some flavour of Middle Eastern it would be different.
