4) Do I qualify for Irish citizenship if my great-grandparent was Irish?

	No, a great-grandparent is too distant a relation for you
	to qualify.  The rules are specified in the Irish
	Nationality and Citizenship Act, which someone has been kind
	enough to put on the web at
	http://www.geocities.com/CapitolHill/Lobby/1834/eire.txt

	The Act is a bit confusing and not necessarily complete.
	Check with an Irish embassy or consulate [see below] or
	a lawyer [there are several advertising their services on
	the web] for the definitive word on this.
