No you're wrong.
And learn to read!
No, you didn't.
Residency alone does not make you eligible to play for any international team - it is a prerequisite that you hold the Nationality of the country you wish to represent.
That is not "wrong".
I have not intimated at all that Irish Citizens are not able to take up Citizenship of "certain other countries".
You have failed to answer the question posed in that regard, preferring to revert to the standard "so what".
I'll ask for the third and final time:
What other countries can a kid born and resident in Dublin choose to represent (assuming his parents and grandparents are solely Irish Citizens)?

But little did they know that we'd planned a wee surprise
Sir David scored the winner, and Windsor Park went wild

No, but if you're deluded enough to believe that, it's up to you.

A cute edit of post 1107# this afternoon, mo chara.
You're beginning to get the hang of this eligibility thingy - small steps mind, but progress all the same.
Get back to me when you've found an answer to my question about the Dublin kid, and his choices.
PS. It's 5 years, not 6, after reaching the age of 18 on the territory of the relevant Association.

Except I've already answered it.
But for whatever reason you're choosing to ignore which is up to you.
Right - I've found your answer.
"Also there's nothing in most cases to stop people taking up citizenship of another country, as know Irish citizens who have dual citizenship which would then open up eligibility where applicable, eg. Australia, the US, Canada, S.Africa etc."
We'll try again.
Our subject is a Dublin born young player, who lives in Dublin, has never lived outside the island of Ireland, and does not intend moving to Australia, the US, Canada, S. Africa etc at this point in time.
His parents are solely Irish Citizens, as are his grandparents - all being born and bred in the Republic of Ireland, and resident there.
What choices has the kid got at International level?
If there's "nothing in most cases to stop people taking up citizenship of another country", can I take out Italian Citizenship?

It is I think what 'The Fly' says, which is common knowledge in sporting circles.
What is the controversy about that anyway?

Do not adjust your tv set.

Clearly there was an error with the medication...
