Anyone who has an Irish-born parent is by birthright an Irish citizen, no matter where one is born. One can claim that citizenship by applying for an Irish (EU) passport at any Irish consulate. You’ll need a copy of one parent’s birth certificate, your birth certificate, and other documents. It costs about $150 US.
One can also claim Irish citizenship if one’s grandparents were born in Ireland. This also allows one to an EU passport. I believe Italy is the only other European country (maybe Holland) that allows this. I’ve heard the EU wants to standardize this so this right may be repealed.
Once you have an Irish (EU) passport, you need to establish residency in Ireland for six months to obtain many citizen rights.
