Hubby and I both have our Irish passports now. I should think the bit of cheeky humor in your post would be taken as intended by most people.
No, it hasn’t affected any of our travel plans. Car hire asks where you’re resident/where driving licence was issued so no change there. Have now given in my Irish passport as ID when renting a car, checking in to hotels, using my credit card and no issues. |

If one is entitled to apply for an Irish passport, it shouldn't mean any applicant is referred to as a hypocrite, rather one taking advantage of legislation.

If one voted for Brexit, is a Brexiteer, which means they want to leave The EU and then they apply for and get an Irish Passport, then yes that is being a hypocrite. Having an Irish Passport means that a person retains all the rights of an EU citizen, such as freedom of travel and the right to live in any European country.
It means that that want those rights for themseleves but don't want others to have them. |

I'm sorry but I can't agree with this point of view. My mother was born and brought up in Ireland and I have spent many happy summer holidays both there and in Germany with my German family. I am therefore entitled to Irish Citizenship. I haven't yet applied for my Irish passport but will do so this year so that there will be no barrier in the future to my free access to my family.
That is from an individual personal perspective, but from a UK perspective I do believe brexit is absolutely the right thing for the UK and I don't believe this at all hypocritical

To add
I used my irish passport for my esta. And I live in Spain. All my florida reservations were made under my UK passport but I’m resident in Spain. Resident and citizenship are two different things. |

Seriously guys - did you not notice the lol conclusion! Sorry for attempting a little sarcastic humour. Whilst I do have strong opinions about Brexit (along with most of the Country it appears) the Dibb is not a forum where I wish to debate these issues. Let’s get back to what this forum does best and help each other enjoy our trips to the greatest degree.

Being born and brought up in the UK and deeming the UK to be my home country of which I am Patriotic, I have no interest in falling back on ancestry to obtain a passport elsewhere.
That would be contrary to my personal moral compass, unless I actually planned to live in that other country. Not that I’m passing judgment on anyone else, this is just my own view. I wouldn’t personally feel happy applying for an Irish passport simply to get EU access, as a Brexiteer myself. Of course it helps my compass that I have no interest in living in the EU.
