147. Deputy Ciarán Cannon asked the Tánaiste and Minister for Foreign Affairs the number of Irish citizens living in the United States that have secured citizenship through the foreign birth registration process. [24119/23]

It is not possible to provide the figures requested by the Deputy, as my Department does not maintain records on the country of residence of citizens registered on the Foreign Births Register.

The Passport Service received approximately 7,000 Foreign Birth Registration applications from applicants residing in the United States in 2022.
