== British/Irish ==

I was asked to check British nationality law, so I did.

"Under the law in effect from 1 January 1983, a child born in the UK to a parent who is a British citizen or 'settled' in the UK is automatically a British citizen by birth.
"'Settled' status in this context usually means the parent is resident in the United Kingdom and has the right of abode, holds Indefinite Leave to Remain (ILR), or is the citizen of an EU/EEA country and has permanent residence. Irish citizens in the UK are also deemed to be settled for this purpose."


Macklin was born in Britain to Irish parents whoa re settled in the United Kingdom. He meets the criteria for British citizenship and therefore has been granted it. This makes him British/Irish.

I'll be reverting the article soon enough.

British/Irish

I was asked to check British nationality law, so I did.

"Under the law in effect from 1 January 1983, a child born in the UK to a parent who is a British citizen or 'settled' in the UK is automatically a British citizen by birth. "'Settled' status in this context usually means the parent is resident in the United Kingdom and has the right of abode, holds Indefinite Leave to Remain (ILR), or is the citizen of an EU/EEA country and has permanent residence. Irish citizens in the UK are also deemed to be settled for this purpose."


Macklin was born in Britain to Irish parents whoa re settled in the United Kingdom. He meets the criteria for British citizenship and therefore has been granted it. This makes him British/Irish.

I'll be reverting the article soon enough.
