Obviously there are legal teams in the UK who are encouraging non-nationals to come to Ireland to have a child born here so the parents may claim residence within Europe. At present if one is a citizen of Ireland, one is also a citizen of the EU.

Citizenship evolved in ancient Greece to exclude, rather than include, others.
