Just for the benefit of others reading: you can get on the FBR[1] if a grandparent was born on the island of Ireland. If you get on the FBR before your kids are born, they can get on it too, and their kids can get on it and so on. If you have a right to citizenship through a grandparent and you don't get on the FBR before your kids are born, they cannot get on it. [1]FBR = Foreign Births Registry. If you have a right to citizenship, you become a citizen once you are in the registry.
