Re: Dual citizen wishing to move to USA
Agreed; it's seen as a 'neutral' passport and as such much prized by journalists and NGO workers. Post-nuptial Irish citizenship is no longer available but Irish citizenship has the distinct advantage of being able to be passed on indefinitely regardless of place of birth in contrast to both British and US citizenship.
This is perhaps getting a little off topic from the original post, but just a word of warning: If you qualify for Irish citizenship by descent (ie. through a grandparent, as is my case) then apply for it sooner than later! I am only just applying for it after having my first child, and disappointed to learn that she won't qualify to receive Irish citizenship as she was born after my registration to the foreign birth register.
She qualifies for a UK passport but won't be able to pass it on to future generations unless they are born in the UK, unlike an Irish passport which, as mentioned above, can be passed on indefinitely.
