Talk:Foreign Births Register

Register / Entry Book
This article should really be entitled the "Foreign Births Register". The register is the one maintained in Dublin. The Entry Books are kept at Irish missions abroad. Caveat lector 20:33, 7 May 2007 (UTC)

Requested move
Foreign Births Entry Book → Foreign Births Register &mdash;. As the previous comment above says, the article should be titled Foreign Births Register, with a redirect to it from Foreign Births Entry Book. The Foreign Births Register is the main subject of the article, and the Foreign Births Register is a total register of all foreign births with Irish citizenship, whereas each Foreign Birth Entry Book pertains only to a subset of such births. - 194.158.79.70 (talk) 02:11, 13 September 2009 (UTC)

Start of registration system
The article says that "The system of citizenship registration was established by the Irish Nationality and Citizenship Act, 1956." See however the Irish Nationality and Citizenship Act, 1935, section 25(1) - "The Minister for External Affairs shall cause to be kept:— ... (b) a register to be called and known and in this Act referred to as the foreign births register." I propose to amend the article accordingly. Alekksandr (talk) 16:47, 25 December 2019 (UTC)
