Here is the language of the Good Friday agreement

"Irrespective of Northern Ireland's constitutional status within the United Kingdom, or part of a united Ireland, the right of "the people of Northern Ireland" to "identify themselves and be accepted as Irish or British, or both" (as well as their right to hold British or Irish citizenship or both) was recognised. By the words "people of Northern Ireland" the Agreement meant "all persons born in Northern Ireland and having, at the time of their birth, at least one parent who is a British citizen, an Irish citizen or is otherwise entitled to reside in Northern Ireland without any restriction on their period of residence."

It seems to me if you are an ordinary resident of Northern Ireland you might be able to claim Irish Citizenship?
Someone who is a citizen or permanent resident of Ireland and a resident there who moves to Northen Ireland might want and claim UK citizenship?
Thoughts?

No, it’s saying that anyone born in Northern Ireland to at least one parent who themselves is British, Irish or is free from immigration control (e.g. holds ILR in the UK) will be entitled to British or Irish citizenship or both.
