It is not the practice for Ireland to enter into reciprocal arrangements with other countries relating to the granting of citizenship and no such arrangement exists with Australia. The conditions for obtaining Irish citizenship are a matter for the Minister for Justice and Equality. Irish citizens may obtain Australian citizenship through meeting the requirements outlined under Australian law.
