Perhaps I'm misreading the webpage.
http://www.foreignaffairs.gov.ie/home/index.aspx?id=254
It says that if neither parent is born in Ireland, then you need a certificate of entry with the Foreign Births register. (I'm assuming you wouldn't need to do this if at least one parent is born in Ireland?).
I honestly don't remember having to register my US born children when I applied for their passports. I only remember sending in my husbands Irish birth cert, our long form marriage cert and our children's birth certs with husband's name on those. (of course this was several years ago, so maybe something has changed?)
Scott? Any ideas on the foreign births registry? I don't want to give out the wrong info to anyone!
