Sorry Fred but I am getting the impression you may suspect I am being argumentative about this.

I started the thread saying "Legal views on this would be appreciated". That is because, with a legal background, I really want to know from a legal stand point.

Raynaputi,

Thanks for your post.

Do I understand you to mean, that as a Filipino who has acquired Irish nationality, although she did not not take any steps to relinquinice her Filipino Nationality, she has or may have inadvertently relinquished it just by having obtained Irish nationality ?

Having read your post, I researched that possibility, but to me it appears less than clear.

RETENTION AND RE-ACQUISITION OF PHILIPPINE CITIZENSHIP UNDER RA 9225 (DUAL CITIZENSHIP)

Dual Citizenship

Republic Act 9225 (RA 9225) or the Citizenship Retention and Re-acquisition Act of 2003 (more popularly known as the Dual Citizenship Law) allows natural-born Filipinos who have become naturalized citizens of another country to retain or re-acquire their Filipino citizenship. Upon reacquiring Philippine citizenship, the citizens shall enjoy full civil and political rights as Filipinos, subject to certain conditions. if that would happen, ).

(I changed colour to red)

NB When obtaining Irish nationality as with UK (and even Spanish as a national of a former Spanish colony) one may legally hold dual nationality.

I look forward to reading your understanding on this.

Thanks
John
