GREENCARD

Reclaiming Irish Citizenship
"MY son is in his twenties, and was born in Ireland. Our family moved to the U.S. in 1992 with Morrison visas. All of us – myself, my husband, and our son and daughter – eventually became U.S. citizens, and we will happily live here the rest of our lives. My son joined the U.S. Air Force four years ago, and at the time he required a security clearance which required him giving up his Irish citizenship. He will not be in the military forever, though, and I was wondering about the possibility of him getting his Irish citizenship back. Is this possible? I have heard that it is likely gone for good, which is a shame as he is Irish-born, and may want to return to Ireland himself in the future."
