 Talk:Irish nationality law - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
I've removed the comment "The Republic of Ireland grants citizenship to any person who has at least one parent who is a citizen or is entitled to be one." as it doesn't cover situations where people are born in the ROI/NI with non-Irish parents.
The Ireland Act states "the Republic of Ireland is not a foreign country", this in effect means that a citizen of the Republic of Ireland is not a citizen of a foreign country, therefore no need to have to go through the usual registration that foreign citizens must.
No-one is arguing with the fact that the Ireland Act 1949 is the piece of legislation that ensures the ROI is not a 'foreign country' as far as the UK is concerned.

 Background to British nationality law British High Commission, Nigeria
The nationality of minor children was tied to that of their father or widowed mother, and they gained or lost British subject status accordingly.
The United Kingdom legislation, the British Nationality Act 1948, created the status of British subject: Citizen of the United Kingdom and Colonies (BS/CUKC) for all those whose connection was with the United Kingdom itself or with a place which, on 1 January 1949, was still a colony.
These were persons connected with the Republic of Ireland, and persons connected with one of the self-governing dominions, which had not yet enacted its own citizenship law.

The truth of this assertion is proved by actual legislation, by the existence among some classes of a certain distrust both of the law and of the judges, and by a marked tendency towards the use of lawless methods for the attainment of social or political ends.
