Re: Brits leaving UK for EU
 

Typical brex**it fanatic, head in cloud.
Fact check, 48% voted to remain, so its fair to presume there was 48% chance whole thing would collapse.
And, yes, have a look where we are now, with all those fantastic deals signed (not!).

Completely wrong, good example why anything posted here by you should be taken with pinch of salt and double checked.
Since 2005, automatic IR citizenship by birth was abolished, strict conditions apply.

That's not how percentages work. You can't take a 48% vote and apply it directly to a probability of something happening or not happening. For example some Scottish nationalists can't get their head around the fact that there is a negligible prospect of 40% referendum support being translated into independence. Whereas, hypothetically 60% support would have almost certainly translated into independence. IOW in a simple referendum, where the target is 50% + 1 vote, there is a near digital cut off at the 50th point.
Thank you for updating me. :)

That said, reading the guide you linked, all that has happened is that the Irish Republic has brought their rules into line with the UK rules, that only allow jus solis nationality where your parents are British or otherwise settled long term in the UK. And the impact of this is that I was not "totally wrong", as per the rules you linked, everyone born in NI, of at least one parent who is British, Irish, or otherwise has indefinite leave to remain in the UK, will be entitled to Irish citizenship, and only a tiny percentage of births, presumably where both parents are neither British nor Irish, nor settled in the UK, would be disenfranchised by the new-in-2005 rule. .... So in short, and using your understanding of percentages, I suspect I was at least 99.9%+ correct. :lol:

Suggest you rely on facts, not on forum gossip.

I did say "that's what I thought" which means I wasn't sure? Also I had previously mentioned I had no intention of applying for Irish Citizenship. However thanks to your link it does show that if I wished to apply I could.
