Be advised my passport's green...the Board and British passports

[bennydorano]

Only ever had a British one, wife & 3 kids all have Irish ones. I dont see the issue to be honest, i'm secure in my own identity.

Irish passport holder,but previously held a British one which I needed in a hurry and was easier to obtain back in the day

As my parents were both Irish citizens prior to 1948 I think that I'm entitled to a British passport, but I've never had one.

Is that true?

Had no idea.

[Eamonnca1]

I'm eligible for a British one but I have an Irish one.

[ardchieftain]

Irish passport. Getting a brit one never even entered my head to be honest.

Not true.

Birth in what's now the Republic of Ireland before 1922 was not sufficient in itself to confer citizenship of the UK and Colonies. Persons born in the Republic of Ireland before 1949 became Citizens of the United Kingdom and Colonies by descent in British law on 1 January 1949 if they had a father born in the United Kingdom or a place that was a colony at that date (provided father was married to the person's mother)

Why do you have an Irish passport when you don't see yourself as Irish?

[Rossfan]

Because he can't get a " Northern Irish" one perhaps?

[Newbridge Exile]

 Each to their own but I have always had ( and always will have ) an Irish one ,

United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland passports are definitely still on the go

[Tony Baloney]

British. Anyone who makes a big deal of their passport falls into the same bucket as fleggers as far as I'm concerned.

[laoislad]

British.

Not surprised.

[leenie]

Both ..

Came in handy back in the day when one wanted to travel across the pond.
As it previously said I too am secure with my identity so it doesn't bother me.

[The Iceman]

I did not know it was possible to hold passports form 3 countries. I thought 2 was the maximum?
I only have an Irish passport. I know lads who were illegal in the US used to have both to go back and forward and avoid losing the Irish one or getting stamped for 10 years.
I don't even think I'll ever get America citizenship - greencard will do me rightly... kids will have Irish passports eventually but right now it isn't important.

Used to have a British one then I realised I wasn't a true Gael and was letting myself and my family down and wasn't going to free Ireland with one of those. Also, I was born a Catholic and that also made me ashamed to have one as most Brits are Prods and most Irish are Catholics so I was being a turncoat etc so I got an Irish one and now I feel I might free Ireland and can hold my head high as a true Catholic-born Irishman and that's important especially when money is tight and the health is wavering.
