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

[deiseach]

Curious to know how many of ye have a British passport. Obviously this is aimed at those oop North, but isn't exclusive to them.

I have had one in the past. Might get it back just to have. Is/was cheaper to get an Irish one

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.

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.

Does it have to be both, or would one pre '48 parent suffice?

Would there be any benefit whatsover for having a British passport if you have an Irish one already I wonder?

[Longshanks]

I have a british one but just because first time I got it was in a rush and its easier with them, that said the next one will be Irish and same with any kids.

Only one parent pre-48 I think.

I could get a British Passport if i wanted but I've always owned an Irish Passport and so have my two children.

I was gonna complement you on the wording of your poll, but I think it is flawed. The no vote would be shewed with people who are not eligible. A better poll might have been:
- eligible and does have a british passport
- eligible and does not have a british passport
- not eligible


When I first applied for my Irish passport I was eligible because my granny was born in Ireland before 1922 or thereabouts. Does that still rule apply?

My wife once suggested getting a british passport for convenience, and I told her over my dead body. Despite a strong temptation, she decided against it.

Are all european passports not Purple?

Are people really that eager that to get involved that they'd vote without being sure they are eligible? I'm shocked, I tells you, shocked!

[Harold Disgracey]

No glass of ours was ever raised to toast the queen.

Never had one and would never contemplate getting one.

[ziggysego]

I could get one if I wanted, but always had and will continue to get an Irish passport.

I was going to say the same but I was suddenly overcome by a wave of irredentism

[screenexile]

I can have 3 passports, British, Canadian and Irish... I have a British one it was cheapest at the time so haven't bothered changing it.

Does it really matter a whole lot? As a great (actually dodgy, dodgy charachter who was in the RA and ripped off a load of people in Dublin) man once said "If you were hungry tomorrow, which of the 2 passports would you eat?!"

[Champion The Wonder Horse]

Never did, never will.
Have a British passport that is.

A bit surprised by the Draperstown boy though.
