Irish travellers rounded up in Manchester.

A child is automatically a British citizen by birth if they are born in the UK to a parent who is a British citizen or has settled status.



Just saying.
The qualifying criteria is a British parent.
Being born here counts for nothing.

Just saying clever dick.
 
In neither the U.K. nor Eire does birth confer citizenship.
Not quite true. The constitution changed back in 2005. If you were born in Ireland before 1st of January 2005 then you are automatically an Irish citizen. I don’t know about the UK.

Irish citizenship when you are born abroad​

If either of your parents was born in Ireland and was an Irish citizen at the time of your birth, you are automatically an Irish citizen by birth.

If the parent through whom you are entitled to Irish citizenship was deceased at the time of your birth, but would have been an Irish citizen if alive at that time, you are an Irish citizen.

Irish citizen parent born outside Ireland​

If you were born outside of Ireland and your parent (who was also born outside of Ireland) was an Irish citizen or entitled to be an Irish citizen at the time of your birth, then you are entitled to become an Irish citizen.

To claim Irish citizenship, you must have your birth registered in the Foreign Births Register, unless your parent was abroad in the public service at the time of your birth. If you are entitled to register, your Irish citizenship is effective from the date of registration – not from the date when you were born.
