To become an Irish citizen

Here's something I copied out of an official document on how to attain citizenship for those born in Ireland:

"If you, as a person born in the island of Ireland do an act which only an Irish citizen is entitled to do [...], the law regards that as an exercise of your entitlement to be an Irish citizen, and you are accordingly an Irish citizen from birth. This also applies to persons not yet of full age (i.e. those still under 18 and not married) on whose behalf such an act is done."

So here's how I interpret this: if our baby were to get drunk, knife someone in the alley behind our apartment, then vomit all over the sidewalk, he would officially become an Irish citizen. Alternatively (and because I don't condone underage drinking), TJ or I could do the same in his name.

I apologize for anyone of Irish descent who takes offense at this post, but it's pretty damn funny. And until you've lived in Dublin 1, you just don't know. It's not all leprechauns and rainbows...
