If you have an Irish grandparent you can get a passport. Lots of work here and Americans are welcome.

Otherwise work visas that turn into residency aren't difficult to come by with sponsorship and it's not the kind of sponsorship that makes you a slave.

How about a great grandparent. My grandma was born in NYC but great grandad came from Ireland into Ellis island.

Mmmm. I'm not sure tbh but I don't think so. If your grandmother had an Irish passport though that might work. Worth checking if you're considering it.

My sister lives in the UK a long time now and all her kids have an Irish passport. It's actually a great passport to have for travel. EU is obviously wide open but most places accept it without much (or zero) effort.
