Citzenship 1 My understanding is she was born in the UK but from an Irish father and mother from British occupied country Northern Ireland From what I read she would take after her mothers heritage and is actuall an Irish citizen Irish passport and all and recognized as a UK citizen granting her dual status with both of those countries Seems pretty common from what I have read 2 She applied and received her US Citzenship status in the early to mid 90 s Seems pretty common that people especially in politic carry two passports and maintain dual citzenship status Especially if their parents are from Ireland I think that it should be noted that she was born in London but retained her Irish identity and was honored to receive her US citzenship status in the early 90 s and is one of the many that enjoys a dual citzenship status
