    Is that still the case if she never registered her UK birth in Ireland and never took an Irish passport? I always thought I had to register her first then I could get myself on the Foreign Birth Register. 

    Sorry I read it wrong, I thought your mother was born in Ireland. As she is deceased, I don’t think you can now register her birth, so it would be grandparent’s for you, and you can’t give it to your children. I found it fascinating learning about my ancestors, and it was worth it just for that.

    Actually I'm in a similar position to you, my Mum was born in England to Irish parents, so similarly my children cannot get one either. I have to first register my late Mum in the Foreign Births Register I believe.

    One of my cousins has successfully obtained his (took him closer to three years), so all the necessary documentation is about somewhere, there just might be an extra hoop I have to jump through on account of my Mum no longer being with us. So I can probably get away without the Irish company to do the research so will just have to pay the normal fees. I'll get round to it one day, even if it just means I don't have to get my French-made blue passport out.

    You don’t need to register your mum, it’s just yourself. I have a check list and copies of everything needed. If you need any advice, just give me a shout.

    I'm eligible for an Irish passport through my Mum, I've been meaning to sort it out for ages. It won't really benefit me hugely as when I travel it'll be with my family who aren't eligible, so they'll still have to wait. But the thought of sitting with a cup of tea the other side of security whilst my missus deals with the kids does sound worth the effort getting all the appropriate documents together and the £300 or so it would cost.

    I just submitted my application, and it’s a 2 year wait. Mine is not straight forward as I am using my grandfather, but due to him being born out of wedlock in a Dublin workhouse, there is no birth certificate. I employed an Irish company to do the research and obtain all relevant documentation and it cost around &1000 all in. My other half is German and as we spend a lot of time in mainland Europe, I thought it was worth the effort. If I do get the Irish passport, my daughter cannot. Because your mother was Irish, you children are entitled.

    I hear you @dj11 🤗…I do really like women’s football…in my defence for later posting it’s because Bet365 often don’t produce the odds for some of these games until later on Fridays…💃🔥🏆

    I’ll see what I can find you…👍🏽🔥💫

    Parma 

    @Parma Ham's gone mouldy I would actually like a women’s six and a men’s six and then add a double to the mix.

    Thanks for the intro @nutty nigel , although it must be said my picks were rubbish for most of the season. I am spending the winter in Cape Town, so with the time difference, I will make the picks at around 8pm U.K. time on Friday. I will chuck a few extra quid into the pot for some extra bets, so plenty of suggestions would be really helpful. A special request to @Parma Ham's gone mouldy to post earlier than normal, so I can use his selection.
