And he's eligible to play soccer for Ireland too - under the parent/grandparent rule! We may need him yet!
Oops! Just spotted he was born in the Republic. We'll definitely have him!
I hope there will be first aiders there

We have been to deal with our notices for marriage.
My partner was born in the Irish Republic but has lived in the uk for 50 years and has classed himself as British.
The problem is having no passport he now needs to prove his nationality.
Would it be logical and less complicated just to get a passport or is there any other way ?
When you say, "has classed himself as British" do you mean, he has acquired British nationality? Or that he thinks of himself as being British?
What nationality does he need to prove? Irish or British? If the latter, his certificate of naturalisation under the British Nationality Act 1981 should help.
Having a passport doesn't make you a national of a particular country, it proves that you are one....much enquiry having been made concerning a gentleman, who had quitted a company where Johnson was, and no information being obtained; at last Johnson observed, that 'he did not care to speak ill of any man behind his back, but he believed the gentleman was an attorney'.0 -

It's only the English that need expensive passports and documents to travel and live in the EU.
that's not entirely right. EU rules relate to free movement of labour, and people who are exercising treaty rights can live in another EU country freely. That doesn't apply in all cases to Bulgarians and Romanians, and it doesn't apply to people who aren't exercising treaty rights
Similarly, British people can exercise treaty rights in other EU countries.
there are different arrangements for Irish people, who have more rights in relation to moving to the UK than non-Irish people who are citizens of another EU member state....much enquiry having been made concerning a gentleman, who had quitted a company where Johnson was, and no information being obtained; at last Johnson observed, that 'he did not care to speak ill of any man behind his back, but he believed the gentleman was an attorney'.0 -
Does it matter for the purpose of registering the intention to marry whether he is Irish or British. In both cases it won't be an issue in relation to the marriage.0

Apparently it does matter with no passport showing nationality being Irish born .
He has a birth cert but no passport. No problem would not have arose if we were both uk born and bred but there are new regulations now unlike years ago with my first marriage .
We are not happy about the situation but to make things far simpler the Irish passport route we will take .Light travels faster than sound.
