Re: British citizenship through ancestory and criminal record
This is the reply i got from the Irish Embassy in Ottawa
Dear Ms. Britishvixen:
Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland are on the island of Ireland, which means that anyone born in the North of Ireland or the Republic of Ireland is an Irish citizen.
Regards,
Irish Embassy
They also sent me 4 attached documents in the email combining a guide and application form along with documents you need. it was all very helpful as you lovely people have been. Paul I have attached them for your info seeing as you were interested too.

For some reason if your boyfriend needs further info for his application go to www.familyulster.com. They were a great help.

His grandfather was born in Belfast, on that and other websites they use the term 'Island or Ireland' am i right to assume that encompasses Northern Ireland as well?
