I have seen a significant uptick in inquiries from people seeking help in locating documents to support applications for dual citizenship. #DNA #DNATip #GeneticGenealogy #Genealogy #Ancestry #DavisDNATip

Just for whoever might need this information, you can apply for Irish citizenship if one of your grandparents was an Irish citizen.
