| Résumé : | In the proclamation that was issued on Easter Monday 1916 the provisional government of the Irish Republic undertook to grant 'equal rights and opportunities to all its citizens' and to 'cherish all the children of the nation equally'.

This article examines the law and the practice relating to Irish citizenship since 1922, with special emphasis on two elements: the efforts by successive governments to establish that Irish citizenship was not merely a local variation of the status of British subject, and the rights of residents of Northern Ireland and Irish emigrants and their descendants to claim Irish citizenship, and the extent to which they availed of these provisions |
