Will review. Stay tuned! Morogris (✉ • ✎) 16:29, 24 February 2023 (UTC)

Overall a great article! Sources are strong and content is thorough. Below are a few points that need action. I'll be placing the article on hold. Cheers, Morogris (✉ • ✎) 16:21, 25 February 2023 (UTC)

Thanks for going through it, I've went ahead and addressed all your points and that should take care of it. Let me know if you find anything else. Thanks, Horserice (talk) 22:05, 25 February 2023 (UTC)

Intro

• or European Free Trade Association (EFTA) country and may - No mention of EFTA in the body paragraphs. Per WP:LEADCITE, this should be mentioned and cited elsewhere.

• Added elaboration.

• eligible to vote, stand for public office, and serve in non-reserved government positions. - Ditto

• Added mention in body.

Terminology

• there is now little distinction between the two terms and they are - I would advise to remove "now" per MOS:DATED. The start of the sentence helps understand the when.

• Done.

Partition and lingering nationality status

• The Irish Nationality and Citizenship Act enacted by the Oireachtas in 1935 provided - Please link Oireachtas since it is the first mention of it in the body.

• Done.

Changing relationship between Britain and the Commonwealth

• Commonwealth citizens initially continued to hold free movement rights in both the UK and Ireland after 1949. British authorities systemically discouraged non-white immigration into the UK - I read up to here and a question came up. Why are there mentions of "United Kingdom" and then "UK" later? I'm not sure if this is a writing rule of some sort, but I would advise consistency. If you can change all "United Kingdom" to "UK" or vice versa for the entire article, that would greatly appreciated.

• I don't think there's specific guidance in MOS:ACRO that prefers one way or the other? For the UK, it just says "the full name does not need to be written out in full on first use, nor provided on first use in parentheses after the full name if written out." But it doesn't provide guidance on being consistent throughout. I typically just switch between writing "United Kingdom" and "UK" just to vary the wording a bit.

• In 1988, a citizenship by investment pathway was created to attract foreign investment into the country as a way to help lower the high unemployment rate. - Citizen by investment should be linked, and the redirect takes us to Immigrant investor programs.

• Done.

• In the 1990 Supreme Court case Fajujonu v Minister for Justice, it was ruled that noncitizen parents of Irish-born children were entitled to remain in Ireland through their children's rights of residence. - Should the case be redlinked? The other case you mentioned later was, hence why I asked.

• I typically never add red links since it requires a bit of guesswork on whether it is plausible an article on that topic could be sustained (WP:REDDEAL). I could see this case being significant enough for that, but would almost always err on the side of not adding them.

• is an Irish citizen (or entitled to be one), a British citizen, or a long-term resident on the island of Ireland. - Does the source define what "long-term" is?

• I was avoiding being repetitive since the residence requirement is a bit verbose but I've changed all the references to this to include those qualifications.

Loss and resumption

• Irish citizenship are liable to be stripped of their citizenship - Is "liable" the right word here? Liable is defined as responsible by law; legally answerable. I think as simple as saying "may be stripped of their citizenship" can suffice. I'll leave it up to you.

• Fixed.

Honorary citizenship

• but this was declined due to restrictions in U.S. law that made it difficult for the head of state to accept a foreign honour - Very interesting fact. Does the source state what law it was? If so, we should link that in the article for inquisitive readers.

• Added elaboration.
