Brits Getting Eu Nationality.
19 Answers
BBC article on BBC online. Sorry can’t do links.
Approximately 7,500 Brits got German nationality in 2017, as compared to
500 in Ireland. That can’t be correct. Whilst there may not be many Brits living in Ireland (?) compared to the numbers in Germany (?) there are huge numbers of Brits with Irish parents/grandparents applying for Irish nationality, and subsequently a passport.
Can these figures be correct??

For some it is uncomfortable to learn that, following the most recent developments, there are British nationals who previously would not bother to look for a different nationality but are now eager to. I know of someone (a born and bred Brit) who intends to apply for citizenship of a country which is not in the EU, one where for this person there is a chance of it being granted.

It is not at all uncomfortable for me. It is a perfectly reasonable response from people who want to remain a citizen of an EU member nation (and OG correctly points out the significance of that vs "EU citizenship") post-Brexit. It is far more reasonable than expecting the UK to remain in the EU (or to agree, on leaving, to anything which smacks of EU membership in all but name) when the majority of those who voted said they wanted to leave.
"I know of someone (a born and bred Brit) who intends to apply for citizenship of a country which is not in the EU,..."
Er..why? He doesn't need to. He can stay in the UK and after next March he will have citizenship of a country that is not in the EU.
"I despair at some of the anti-EU stuff on here to be honest"
You may well despair but you should not be surprised.

The report is about taking citizenship, which is different than just getting an Irish passport. Only 500 have gone the whole way and become Irish citizens, but...
// More than 160,000 Irish passports were issued to people in Northern Ireland and Britain in 2017. At the same time, the number of people born in Britain registering as Irish rocketed by 95%. //
