The tweets stop an hour ago and one of the comments was that she was asked to stop tweeting.

I would point out that the people giving evidence almost certainly recieved legal advice before doing so. I have to imagine that the person saying "I had to joke about raping that officer as I was worried that she might falsely accuse me of raping her" is not following any professional legal advice.

"Underhand" here is definitely code for "I think she reported for me something bad enough there was some followup"

Genuinely Keith might be worse than Cameron. I think their ideologies are about the same, but the status quo has moved way to the right since 2010 and Keith will build on that as opposed to the status quo Cameron inherited.

Cameron was willing to spend political capital pushing for gay marriage. Keith, a human rights lawyer, isn't willing to go to bat for trans people.

Might require Irish Citizenship (Citizenship By Descent) to get one if you are a grandchild: https://www.dfa.ie/citizenship/

If you are born in Ireland (North or South) then there is no barrier to getting one.

I'm born & bred in N.I. but haven't bothered getting one yet. :rolleyes:

I keep meaning to start the ball rolling on that as my grandfather was from Belfast. I have heard the current time to getting it is like 2 years though.

Everyone is trying to get one since Brexit started, so the queue is long but its not as bad as it used to be. And will be longer the more distant you are from being from God's own people.

Same, but going to do so soon.
It's weird, my father and everyone his age all got British passports, just to save time and hassle at border check points.
If you had an Irish passport, chances were that you were stopped and searched. And if the bastards wanted to ruin your day, they would make sure you missed your flight or such.
So I got the same.
Nowadays its the opposite, searching the brits for food and contraband.

As in distance, or lineage? My great-(x)-nan left Cork during the Great Famine but I doubt I'd be eligible. Also would feel cheeky when I have other nationalities I can more easily obtain by family.

Yeah, this.
Basically it depends on what documents you can send them showing you are related to your grandparents and they were irish. Just like every other country really.

I think as Im from NI, I can walk into any police station with my British passport (that says Im NI) and rent agreement here, and have any random garda 'witness' that my details are true, and thats enough for the irish passport application form.

There's a lot in this: https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2022/jul/29/boris-johnson-lords-cronies-legitimising-bribery

quote:

This draft plan to add 39 to 50 new Tory peers includes an extraordinary requirement that each new peer sign away their right to make their own judgment on legislation that comes before them. They have to give, the paper says, a written undertaking to attend and vote with the government. [...]The media, according to the Crosby firm’s paper, can be easily blindsided by the appointment of a few controversial figures or well-known celebrities, which will distract journalists away from the real issue, which is the sheer scale of the gerrymandering.

Not having a go or anything. If he got a passport, even if he never set foot in Ireland, you can get one too

Try to get his birth certificate then, that would prove it.

My mum is so irish, she was born on 22nd Sept, but not registered on the birth cert until 24th Sept because they were drinking so much in celebration.
So her official birthday is the 24th, shes 2 days younger than she should be.
