Do you qualify to apply for Irish Citizenship? Maybe. Even if you were not born in Ireland, and your parents were not born in Ireland, you might be able to apply for Irish Citizenship.   Surprised?  We were!

If even just one of your grandparents was an Irish citizen born in Ireland, then you may be able to qualify for “Citizenship through birth or descent”.  It entails paperwork trails and proof of your family history, paired with applying for a foreign birth.

So, let’s get the word out… literally.  This short travel podcast spreads the word about this innovative citizenship opportunity in Ireland as travel podcast host Laura, shares her personal experiences after she stopped at the Irish Family History Center in Dublin (on her way out of the EPIC Irish Emigration Museum – look for it near the gift shop!)
