Alan Joyce
The place to ask questions like that is the WP:Reference desk, but you can probably find the answer yourself by a Google search. For instance, this site says: "Born in Dublin, Alan moved to Australia in 1996 and now holds both Australian and Irish citizenship." Regards, JohnCD (talk) 15:22, 30 October 2011 (UTC)

More welcome
You are particularly welcome as an enquiring 82-year old. There is a general idea that the typical Wikipedia contributor is about fifteen, but there are some other oldies around - I was offended recently when I tried to fill in a questionnaire about my activities here, and could not give my date of birth accurately because the drop-down list only went back to 1940. Please leave a message on my talk page if I can help you find your way around here. Regards, JohnCD (talk) 15:28, 30 October 2011 (UTC)
