Please, let's not hide from the benefits of an EU passport and let's face the fact that losing EU freedom of movement has very real consequences for many people.

One has to wonder how many of the people that have taken up the option of an Irish passport simply do so to get around Brexit issues, rather than some deep affiliation to Irish Ancestry? I would guess as has been mentioned some from Northern Ireland would not consider doing this obviously some would. Let's face it even though there is now thankfully the peace accord between North and South issues are still there and depending on one's own personal view on the Island of Ireland will dictate one's "loyalty". It is an option that was open to me as I am a direct descendant of a Northern Irish mother, however the WA agreement and a bit of planning was an easier route than obtaining an Irish passport. Good luck to those that take this route but I understand why some may choose not to.

Back to basics....
The "Four Freedoms" of the single market are:
Irish passport holder can go wherever within the EU, for long as they want!
The other topic of this chat is tax obligations, and that has already been covered above.

My comment wasn't a criticism of those obtaining an Irish passport in any way. I was lucky in that I don't need one to continue my life as I wish.

I have just sent my application in to the Irish foreign birth registry. €278 just for that process. They must be absolutely raking it.

For comparison, the actual administration cost involved in registering a child as British is £372, beside which €278 looks a bargain - and that's before you take into account that what is actually charged to register the aforementioned child is £1,012. Now that's what I call raking it, as opposed to the simple covering of costs.

You should think yourself darn lucky you can get an Irish passport. Many UK nationals would give anything to get an Irish passport because their future plans have been completely ruined by Brexit.
€278 to escape the Brexit trap is an absolute bargain.
