My husband is an Irish citizen and we plan to go back and this has been on my mind.  Thanks for your input (especially from Ireland!).  When you say "3 years married," do you mean 3 years married AND living in Ireland?  Looks like some other countries allow citizenship even if you don't live there.  Also, do you happen to know about bringing MY children over, who are over 18?  If not, that's ok. 

Seem to remember an Iranian marrying a foreign female results in the female becoming Iranian automatically.

And as far as I understand for your kids it is under 21.

That website is an excellent source on most things Ireland and will  offer links to the correct government agencies. 

 

If I can be of any further help don't hesitate to ask.
