PQ: Dual Citizenship Numbers
126. Deputy Thomas P. Broughan asked the Minister for Justice and Equality if his Department keeps or intends to keep a record in relation to non-nationals who acquire Irish citizenship but who also have national citizenship of another country and who retain passports in respect of both citizenships.
Minister for Justice and Equality (Deputy Alan Shatter): As the Deputy will be aware, under Irish law the acquisition of Irish citizenship is not contingent on the renunciation of the citizenship of another jurisdiction. There is, therefore, no requirement to ascertain if a person retains or renounces their original nationality. I have no plans to amend the law in this regard.
