Uk citizen passport question

javagal

Hi,
I am not sure if this is the right forum but the search bar brought me here.

I know i am entitled to an irish passport as my grandparents are irish but my mother was born in the UK. She has been a resident here since she was 13 and has an Irish passport herself.
Problem is, she moved to the UK when she was pregnant and I was born in the Uk and moved here as a baby.
She didnt put my irish fathers name on my birth cert as he wasnt around. My previous passport was english.
So i am wondering if my mother having an irish passport makes me automatically entitled to an irish passport so can just apply with hers and her birth cert or,
Do I need to go the foreign births route and use my grandparents details?
Its a lot of extra effort and money that I would rather avoid.
Any insight welcome
Thanks!

Born outside Ireland?
You are automatically an Irish citizen if one of your parents was an Irish citizen who was born in Ireland.

You can become an Irish citizen if one of your grandparents was born in Ireland, or you can become an Irish citizen if one of your parents was an Irish citizen at the time of your birth, but was not born in Ireland. If you’re eligible, you can register your birth on the Foreign Births Register.

the part in bold looks like it applies to you
