@@michaelvdunne I don't understand- are you replying to me? Many EU countries have paid healthcare anyway, UK and Spain are the only two totally free European countries I can think of, off the top of my head. Also UK residents still have a 'European healthcare card' (they changed the name but it's the same) but I'm not a UK resident. I live in an EU country with mildly acceptable healthcare costs but still have to pay for everything- my regular medication I still buy from the UK because is 1/20th of the cost (and in Scotland it would be free, where I live it costs 120€). My comment was able living somewhere to get citizenship but to directly respond to yours: an EU passport also means you pay for healthcare in the EU unless you come from (and/or a resident of) a country with free healthcare.
@@michaelvdunne Not necessarily true, the EU and the UK have reciprocal arrangements for emergency care, other areas must be paid for, but that is true for EU nationals visiting other member states as well as Brits. For instance Irish citizens who want to live in Spain for more than three months must by law purchase private medical insurance, without it residency is denied.

I was just reading through some of the comments made here regarding Ireland's non participation in the Schengen Agreement and some of the erroneous comments claiming that it limits an Irish citizens right to live, work and retire in any EU member state. Some comments even suggest that Irish citizens are limited to just 90 days stay in any 180 day period because Ireland is not part of the Schengen Agreement - Of course all of that is completely untrue. The Schengen Agreement allows for citizens to travel freely between member states without the need to go through passport controls - but this only applies to internal borders. The biggest benefit of Schengen is that it allows for the free movement of goods between member states without the need for customs controls - again this only applies to internal borders. The basic rights of EU citizens are in no way impacted by Schengen, regardless of whether they are a member state or not. All EU citizens who intend to become resident in any other EU member state are obliged to register with their local authorities so they can be issued residency cards etc. I hope this clears up some of the misinformation that has been floating around here by the misinformed. Thank you.
Simply because a British citizen may not have a valid British passport, his or her British citizenship is unaffected. I did discover recently that not having a valid British passport makes it impossible to apply online for a replacement driving licence since, like it or not, a valid passport serves as an identity card.
Irish passport may be better if 1) travelling to USA, as there is USA border agent stationed in Ireland 2) Irish do not need visa for Iran, but British do. 3) some countries tend to treat Irish citizens better such as India, China, USA. British passport may be better if you want to go 1) British overseas territory, 2) British Crown Dependency 3)Visit New Zealand as tourists.
I still think the Irish passport gives you far more options than the current UK passport. The freedom to move unimpeded within the EU is a huge factor that can't be replicated by a UK passport. Hands down the Irish passport comes out tops.
You should also consider consular support in different countries. The UK has an embassy in almost every country and as a British citizen and passport holder it's relatively easy to access consular support wherever you are. Ireland has very few embassies in comparison and it may be more difficult to access consular support in some parts of the world.
If u are a an Irish citizen you can live and work in the EU and UK but if you are a British citizen you can live and work only in the uk and Ireland so the Irish passport is much better
@@georgebarnes8163 you are from a territory that uk is responsible even with a self government , that’s why you are allowed to enjoy the benefits of a British citizen like working/living in Ireland or in the uk , the Isle of Man passport is a type of British passport
I guess it depends on the individual but on paper when one considers the power of the passport ie EU/EEA/CH travel , work and settlement rights then the Irish passport wins hands down. Also worth considering it is the only European passport that still gives the bearer the right to work and settle in the post brexit UK . Of course this could all change if a future UK regains its freedom of movement rights in Europe or gains them in the realm of CANZUK ie FoM in Canada Australia and New Zealand. Only time will tell but for the moment Ireland wins out.
Canada, Australia and New Zealand are not giving freedom of movements to Brits. That will never happen. Those countries are very fussy about who they let in.
The only event that would possibly endanger the Common Travel Area between the UK and Ireland is Irish unification and even if this happens those in Northern Ireland that want to remain British citizens would still require the CTA. UK citizens are very very unlikely to gain free movement in Canada, Australia or New Zealand, if this was possible it would already be in place
@@fitzstv8506 : I honestly don't think they'll ever get rid of CTA because there's too many family links between both nations to dispense with their freedom of movement arrangement.
I'm Canadian, and applied for Irish citizenship through my Irish-born grandparent. I may also qualify for a British Ancestry Visa, as a grandparent of mine was born in England. I could use this to live in the UK and claim citizenship, but the Irish passport makes it pointless to get a UK passport. Irish citizenship gives you every right Brits enjoy in the UK, PLUS full freedom of movement in the EU, PLUS one of the best citizenship to travel the world with. Post-Brexit, the Irish passport makes UK citizenship irrelevant.
Irish passport is way better. Right now Irish passport has visa free access to China, Russia and Iran. Furthermore Irish passport has more soft power than British one. They also enjoy freedom of movement within EEA countries.
My friends cousin is Brazilian and holds an Irish passport. His wife was born in Italy and holds Italian and Danish citizenship because her mother was born in Denmark - She also holds an Irish passport through naturalization. Their three young children who were born in Ireland and are Irish citizens also qualify for Danish, Italian and Brazilian citizenship through their parents. Now that's having your cake and eating it.

No. Schengen allow people to travel freely between member countries without having to go through internal border controls. However border controls still exist on their external borders with non-EU member states. Any EU citizen, regardless of whether they are from a Schengen country or not, still has the same freedoms as any other EU citizen.

The overriding benefit of Schengen lies in the free movement of goods within the Schengen area. So if you're carrying goods from say France to Germany you don't have to stop to have your load checked at the border, you can just drive straight on through.
