I would happily trade my US citizenship for an EU one. You are lucky.

Yep. I'm glad I took a masters program in Ireland when I did. Now just to find a job where I can actually live in Dublin and not squeak by... which sadly isn't likely give Irish salaries and how ridiculous Dublin is.

Same thing happened with Brexit. Many British citizens looked for applying for second citizenship by descent to maintain EU status.

I myself applied for a Irish passport since my gradparents are Irish citizens.

How long did the application take if you don’t mind me asking? (Foreign birth register + passport application)

I looked into it a few years ago but they had such a massive backlog to deal with I was told 24 months, so I put it off.

Funnily enough that's the complete opposite for me. I'd trade my canadian passport for an American one anytime
