My late father in law was born in Northern Ireland and my husband has asked me about applying for a Irish passport? Any info appreciated!

We are in Scotland. Thank you. 

We have British passports.

Was thinking about this myself.As far as im aware your husband would be eligible for a Irish passport.If you havent got any Irish ancestry,im afraid you will have to do with your British passport.

Info here on eligibility which confirms if a parent was born in Ireland you are an Irish citizen by birth, so are eligible. There is link for how to apply near the bottom of the page.

"If you or your parent were born on the island of Ireland before 2005, you are an Irish citizen. You can apply for an Irish passport without making an application for citizenship."
