Similarly children born in the ROI to British citizens (under the 2005 rules) are Irish citizens automatically. The usual 3 year residence rule where parents are not citizens does not apply to British citizens.

As far as those from other EEA states are concerned, there was a requirement a few years ago to hold a residence permit in order for residence to be counted for naturalisation purposes. This may have been repealed in the most recent set of legislation.

Hi

My New Zealand born husband also has a Dutch passport which he used when living in Europe. We lived in Ireland from 1999 until June of this year and he was never asked, nor did we enquire, about a residence permit. Not even when we bought our house. His best friend is in the Gardai (police force) and he never mentioned it either. I really wouldn't worry. This lack of control may bother you some day but we Irish have a great tendency to pay lip service to rules and regulations :-)
