The granting of Irish citizenship through naturalisation is governed by the provisions of the Irish Nationality and Citizenship Act 1956, as amended. Ireland recognises dual nationality.

Irish citizens are not required to renounce their Irish citizenship when becoming a dual citizen of another State. However, the law in some countries may require them renounce their Irish citizenship before they can become a citizen there.

Persons applying for dual citizenship should check the legislation of the country that they are applying to and confirm whether their Irish citizenship rights are protected. For example, the law in some countries provides for the automatic termination of its citizenship or nationality if you acquire another citizenship or nationality.

Any person who holds dual citizenship, can apply for Permission to Remain in Ireland Without Condition (Stamp 6), and have their non-Irish passport stamped with that permission.
