I'm British and have a British passport and I permanently reside in the UK but I'm also technically an Irish citizen because my Irish father was born in Ireland.

I have never applied for an Irish passport but I am automatically an Irish citizen based on my ancestry. Does Facebook know this? Do I need to inform them to benefit from GDPR protections on an ongoing basis?

How the hell is any of this enforceable?

That depends on what you want to do. What GDPR protection are you trying to benefit from?

You can try to reach out to the regulator if you believe your GDPR protections are being violated,

My experience with the ROI is that they are unlikely to jeopardise Facebook pulling out of Dublin.
