    I find it unfair that an Australian etc with Irish ancestry can claim an Irish passport.. Wiith that they are exempt from all the visa requirements.
    Ireland should only allow those born here or those born abroad to at least one Irish paren(not grandparent) entitlement to an Irish passport.

    Should we expel everyone who's here and doesn't meet those criteria?

    To what extent should we go while expelling them if that's the case?

    Are you serious dude? :eek:
    That doesnt make any sense at all. Besides you'll get alot of fake ancestry claims too.
    I like the Australians :) but all we get is a years visa and work permit. Hardly a trade off is it?

    What is your point then? People from countries other than Ireland shouldn't enjoy the same freedom to move around that Irish people enjoy?
