And if that continues how long, do you think, the Irish passport will be quite the golden ticket people think it is.

A little like Indians and Pakistanis diluting the value of the British Passport?

Whoosh!

Getting an Irish passport won't increase the number of people living in Ireland necessarily. So no, there won't be more people.

Here’s a thought, does anyone know the answer: what if you’re adopted and your adoptive parents were born in Ireland?

Good enough.

You will have to join a very long queue.

Do you think I can get one as Doctor Patrick O'Strangelove?

Then it's crap in both ways.

Crap that you had to be adopted and crap that they were Oirish.

Should make no difference.

Unless you’re in your 40’s and looking to be adopted.

Ireland to overtake China as having the most people in the World....


I'm glad there will be more people to bail out the EU with big tax rises when time comes...2020 is the most likely.

Easiest way: be born on the island.
Next easiest: parents or grandparents born on the island.
Next: live on the island for five years
Next: marry someone with an Irish passport, then live on the island for 3 years.

A few years ago you could get a passport if you invested €1million in the ROI, not sure if that’s still an option, but you could try with half of you moderator Christmas bonus for this year...

You spent all of last years mod bonus on singing lessons. Wasted.....

Tax is what pays for public services and the operation of democratic governments. The US-style obsession with low taxes but also tulip almost non-existent public services over there seems to be spreading like wildfire over here too unfortunately to inside IR35 serfs such as yourself.
