I work in the field of engineering and have the good chance for a very well paid job at a firm based in Belfast. However due to the type of work they (MOD) do they are not able to employ people with Dual citizenships. This includes Irish. In my case I hold an Irish and British passport.
I am able to regain my citizenship when I want but would have to quit if doing MOD work. Does this not seem a bit discriminatory considering where the role will be based? I don’t need an Irish passport but I like having one. Do I sell out and go for it. Imagine I didn’t get it. I would be so angry.
"Us Italians know how to cook Riz-oh-toe"
"Us French know what good wine is"
You are not Irish if you are born in America, you are not English if you are born in America, you are not French if you are born in America, you are not Greek if you are born in America, you are not Italian if you are born in America.
You are American stop saying you are something other than what you are its so annoying.
Question as title. I was born N Ireland lived England entire life, never thought about it until wishing to apply for this job. I have a UK passport and no Irish passport but realise I might have dual nationality , which I am looking into to check if I do
is is dual irish nationality permmisable ?
I think I could renounce it but don't know if it would be worth it there are other jobs I like
So, why is there such a disparity between the countries, and will it continue to grow throughout the tour?
Let's look at a different statistic.
Tries by position:
Back three: 14 (3 Fullback, 11 Wing)
Centre: 2 (1 inside, 1 outside)
Half-back: 2 (2 Scrumhalf)
Back row: 2 (1 blindside, 1 openside)
Lock: 0
Front row: 0
The wingers seem to be who Gatland and Toonie want to score off. This goes a long way in explaining why Wales and Scotland lead the try scoring table. The only English back three is A.Watson, who is yet to start a match, and Ireland have no back three representatives.
Daly at Centre has created a few tries, and is my bet for the first English player to score. Farrell doesn't run the kind of line that Aki, Henshaw, and even Harris enjoy, nor does he have the footwork of Daly, so I would be surprised if be found himself crossing the tryline often. Expect more tries from the other centre options though.
The offloading game that the Lions have adopted really favours the type of 9 that Price and Davies are, but not so much Murray. England don't have a scrumhalf in the squad.
I don't think that Bigger or Russell will be racking up tries for the same reasons as Farrell. They are tasked with creating tries for other players.
The English Back row options haven't had much game time yet, but I would expect tries from them at some point. The loose forwards will likely find themselves at the end of a fair few tries over the course of the tour as they rampage in the wide channels.
The tight five are doing a lot of the work in the centre of the pitch, creating space out wide for the other players to exploit. The BIL plan on going round their opposition, not through them, but this needs the tight five to be banging on the door to distract the defence while the wingers are sneaking through the window. They have been unlucky not to get a couple of maul tries, but I can't see them scoring much off open play. This is where much of the English representation is centred. The failure of the maul to cross the tryline is a large factor in why no English player has scored yet.
TL;DR: The difference in tries scored for each country is mostly due to the positions each country has players in the squad. The disparity in tries will probably only grow as the tour goes on.

Turkey for example has a law which states that Armenian citizens cannot buy property in Turkey (not only Armenians btw, other nationalities, like Syrians are also barred, Greek citizens can’t buy in certain regions). Do we have any laws that prevent other nationalities from buying property in Armenia?
Here are some sources I found regarding Armenians and other nationalities in Turkey:

I was watching a TV show the other day where in early 19th century, they were already referring to Irish people as "Micks", and they were substituting the work that black slaves were doing. This happened in states where slavery and black people had been outlawed.
Anyway the whole concept baffled me. How is it that a nation literally made up of so many immigrants, a couple of decades later other immigrants were already 2nd class citizens? How does this happen so quickly?
Mexico recently passed a new nationality law that theoretically should extend jus sanguinis to unlimited generations. The previous law required transmission of citizenship via jus sanguinis to be dependent upon your parents being born in Mexico or being naturalized citizens, so in practice only the first generation born abroad was entitled to citizenship. This is actually exactly my situation, so this new change in the law is of particular interest to me.
My grandmother was born in Mexico, but my mother was born here in the US, which means that I wasn't eligible for citizenship previously. I'd like to take advantage of the new law, but I haven't found really any information about it at all -- just a few newspaper blurbs here and there.
Does anyone have any advice for how to take advantage of this, or how to start lining up paperwork? I currently have:
- certified Mexican birth certificate for my grandmother
- certified US marriage certificate for my grandmother
- certified US birth certificate for my mother
- certified US birth certificate for myself
Should my first step be to apply for citizenship directly? Should I try to register myself and my mother in the Registro Civil before I apply? Are there other steps I should think about taking?

People call her Iris.
Hey lads, having a hell of a time at my work place, employees up and quitting. People claiming bullying etc so I've started being more vigilant at what is and isn't allowed by the management, that led to this question.
I'm a flexible worker who has a far distance to travel to work. My manager never gives me the hours stated in my contract despite them being essential to me being able to live my life outside work due to the travelling and on top of that he's threatening me with more days than I'm contracted for over Christmas without asking me because he doesn't want the hassle of asking others.
On top of that he talks shit about all the employees behind their backs and openly shows favourites as in one case he literally told an employee he'd never be kind to her again because she wouldn't fall in line with his ridiculous rules.
The most irritating thing is he never posts the roster for my work week until literal hours before the shift starts, aka a Sunday evening or 12 at night on a Saturday.
Is there anything I can do? Is any of this huge red flags to anyone else? I don't know if I'm the issue or if this place really is the pit of hell.
The [constitution] (https://panama.justia.com/federales/constitucion-politica-de-la-republica-de-panama/titulo-ii/) says those born on Panamanian soil are Panamanian nationals. Is it true irrespective of parents nationality, employer, residence status? I am assuming so since the law does not explicitly say it is not.
Is there a constitution scholar who could confirm this? A law professor?
