If either of your parents was born in Ireland, no matter where you were born then you are automatically an Irish citizen. So you can claim to be as much Irish as those of us who live in Ireland and you can also claim an Irish passport to prove it. You can see how you go about that at the site below.

I'm Irish and I know a lot of people here resent when foreign people say they are "Irish", when they have never even been to Ireland(mainly Americans). Personally, I don't mind.

My blood's so long here that I'm an American, and to heck with the Irish.
I live right next to a town full of such folk, and I know better than to pretend I'm one of them.
It hurts me to be not even truly Irish-American.
But can't we finally figure out how to be American and stop attaching ourselves to these hyphens?
You're here now!!!!!
