If a Ruritanian national, by fraud or deception, tricks the Department of Foreign Affairs into giving him or her an Irish passport, that acquisition does not make him or her any less a Ruritanian or any more an Irish citizen. The only way for him or her to become an Irish citizen is through naturalisation. Section 4 would remove only a symptom of the malaise which the Senator seeks to cure, but if section 3 can be reworded suitably so as to effect the substantive cure, then the symptom would go away too and section 4 of the Bill might be superfluous. If that section disappears, the references in the Long and Short Titles of the Bill to the Ministers and Secretaries Act 1924 might also become surplus to requirements.
