You have to get on the foreign birth registry even though you're technically already a citizen if you want to do anything with it (ie get a passport, etc).
For my wife a big part of the delay was getting all the necessary documents. There was stuff required from Ireland, Alberta, and BC.
I keep talking up the idea or going to Ireland for University to my kids (who also have citizenship). I think it'd be cool and it's super cheap
