Dáil Éireann debate, 27 October 2004: Irish Nationality and Citizenship Bill 2004: Second Stage

Dáil second-stage debate on the Irish Nationality and Citizenship Bill 2004, 27 Oct 2004. Mostly about citizenship of children born in Ireland to non-national parents (out of scope). In scope: the Minister's statement that section 10 (narrow definition of 'Irish associations') ends investment-based naturalisation (event already in the data), the October 2003 Government support for Senator Quinn's bill (event added), deputies' remarks on the scheme (no post mortem, Moriarty tribunal, revocation, named investors) including the claim of 11 passports issued in one day (added as claim). Other numbers (e.g. 1.8 million Irish passport holders born abroad) are out of scope.
