“We’re not in the same position,” said Jessica Parker. “Neither myself nor my husband has a relative that would allow permanent residency.
“We do feel enormously privileged to be able visit the country as much as possible, however, which of late has just worked out - our kids’ school schedule and our own work schedule has allowed us to be in Ireland a lot.
“So we’ve given up on the idea of being able to call ourselves Irish citizens. But it doesn’t matter because it doesn’t affect our love of the country and our time spent there.”
