[color=66ff00]The land is British property but we get to freely choose our nationality up here. We state Irish/British on the census and can apply for British or Irish passports (or both). [/color]

Irish Citizenship by Birth
Anyone born in Ireland, except for children of parents holding diplomatic immunity in Ireland, are automatically granted Irish citizenship. You are also automatically considered an Irish citizen if you are born outside of Ireland to a mother or father who was born in Ireland. A person born in Northern Ireland after December 1922 with a parent or grandparent born in Ireland prior to December 1922 is automatically an Irish citizen.

Even if you always assumed that your grandparents were English, you might want to check their birth records to learn if they really meant England - or if they were possibly born in Ulster, the province which is Northern Ireland. Although occupied by the British, the Irish constitution claims Northern Ireland to be part of the Republic of Ireland, therefore most people born in Northern Ireland prior to 1922 are Irish by birth. If this applies to your parent or grandparent, then you are also considered to be an Irish citizen.

So Northern Ireland is "occupied territory", eh?

[Clave]

Don't go there...

The whole Loyalist vs Nationalist thing will bite you.

I did maeg I was just getting a dig in at you because you're not fully liberated, therefore couldnt have fought for such. I'm well aware of Irsih claims on the north, we've even a phone area code reserved for it.

Goober, aye, there was no Northern Ireland before 1922 and the province of Ulster has nine counties, three of which were left out of the partition because they were mainly catholic.

'liberated'

[Gank]

his word not mine, and ya it does apply. To the south anyways, norths bit more complex due to the gerrymandering that went into its creation.
