Applications for Irish citizenship continue to surge post-Brexit
‘If it wasn’t for Brexit I wouldn’t give up my British passport as I do see myself as British’
English-born Irish resident Michelle Heming: “I don’t think I would have looked for Irish citizenship before Brexit, but now I really would prefer no issues when I am travelling.”
When Michelle Heming thinks about being separated from her family in airports, the thoughts of having an Irish passport become a lot more alluring.
The self-described “proud Englishwoman” lives in south Dublin and carries a UK passport, but, with the recent Brexit vote having consequences for EU ease-of-travel, she has joined the growing number of those considering their options. It is time, she says, to think about Irish citizenship.
