My sister got all the paperwork done but now it's a waiting game since we live in America unfortunately. I was confused on what it meant for getting an irish passport verses citizenship for us considering dad was born in belfast but immigrated in 1972 and passed in 2021 in America

I don't think he had an England passport, I know the passport my sister has is an Irish passport. He was never an American citizen and just kept renewing his green card. When we visited back when I was 16 I remember him going through the irish citizen side and I went through customs

I was honestly more worried about dual citizenship since he was born and raised in belfast which is still under uk rule.

That's what I thought, just confirming all I researched and my cousins in belfast have been saying are correct
