My Department is responsible for citizenship by descent through the Foreign Births Register. Based on the information provided by the Deputy, there is no corresponding entry for this individual on the Register.

They may however be entitled to apply for citizenship by Foreign Births Registration if one of their grandparents was born in Ireland. Further information on entitlement and documentary requirements can be found on the Department’s website at www.dfa.ie.
