That depends mick where was your dad born
That depends mick where and when your dad born. Also where and when your grandfather was born and other factors. Ireland wasn’t a sovereign state until 1922. So technically your great grand dad was British and woukdnt be considered an Irish citizen until 1922.

I would be in a similar situation as my Great Grandmother was born in Ireland in 1858. My father could have applied to become an Irish citizen. However, I could only apply to be an Irish passport holder if my father had been an Irish citizen when I was born. So I would not be eligible as he never did. It is very hard to know where these things start and stop. At least, now potential candidates have to at least stop and think about it.
As above it would depend if she was still living ther/alive in 1922 as Ireland wasn’t not a sovereign state until 1922

Not that it really matters My great. Granddad born 1860 odd died 1947
I was trying to explain how complicated it was. Someone born Poland say 1928 after ww2 East Germany then Germany 1987? Unification
I have done some analysis of Alex Dyson’s donations.
Full credit to him for having them out there.
Since August – 1324 individual donations totalling $542, 655.43
405 anonymous donations totalling $42,512.51 – if similar proportion to the named donors this would be 300 individual donors
694 named donors – that includes people who have donated more than once
Donors $5,000 and upwards
Kevin and Ruth Owens $5,000.00
Richard Davies $5,000.00
Voices of Wannon $6,500.00
Marie Bird $10,000.00
Regional Voices Fund $20,000.00
Eve Kantor & Mark Wootton $25,000.00
Keep Them Honest Pty Ltd $50,000.00
Rob Keldoulis $50,000.00
Climate 200 $249,102.00
So compared to Deb Leonard, Alex Dyson has a lot more donors and fewer big donors. The number of individual donors would be of concern to Dan Tehan as these people could turn out to volunteer etc. More grass roots – less money. Besides Climate 200, Keep them Honest and and Regional Voices Fund have turned up again. Rob Keldoulis has also been a major donor to Climate 200 so some individuals are pumping in serious money
It’s Dyson’s 3rd run – you’d expect more behind it and it’s long been thought he’s at least half a chance so not surprising to me
