Should immigrants to Ireland be allowed to hold dual citizenship status?
Multiple citizenship, also called dual citizenship is a person's citizenship status, in which a person is concurrently regarded as a citizen of more than one state under the laws of those states. There is no international convention which determines the nationality or citizen status of a person, which is defined exclusively by national laws, which vary and can be inconsistent with each other. Some countries do not permit dual citizenship. Most countries that permit dual citizenship still may not recognize the other citizenship of its nationals within its own territory, for example, in relation to entry into the country, national service, duty to vote, etc.

If willing to work and have a positive impact on the society they join and be inclusive to the community as opposed to burden on the social welfare system
@9N6X3742mos2MO
Yes, Irish citizens are allowed to hold dual citizens - immigrants that become irish citizens should be treated equally.
@9MCWSGP3mos3MO
Yes, but similarly to Australia this process should should have criminal vetting and people should be working in the country for 3-5 years before it is allowed
@9L5M92H4mos4MO
Ireland should enforce more searches on background on imigrants and ayslum seekers but that doesnt mean they miss treat them or treat them like poeple who can do anything they want
@9HR4RM87mos7MO
Yes but they should have to pay tax for as long as they have the Irish citizenship even if they go to another country
@9HM7ZJW8mos8MO
yes, base on their background. (Criminal, and terrorism). Also, they need to proof that they have been working in ireland and paying their own share of taxes.
