I am asking what happens if the child is not considered an Irish citizen. Let us say an Irish citizen and a Brazilian citizen are married and living in Ireland. The Brazilian man has not yet naturalised as an Irish citizen but the couple have a child and the man is the biological father. The family is established in Ireland and intends to live in Ireland. Are we relying on a third country to issue a travel document? Is that the current situation?
