Has anyone else come across this?
British citizens be required to have the ETIAS authorization
All UK nationals will need to apply for ETIAS travel authorization by May 2023 when the scheme becomes fully operational.

UK residents who are passport holders of one of the countries with which the EU has a visa regime in place are not eligible to apply for an ETIAS despite their residency in Britain. They will instead have to apply for a regular Schengen visa.

ETIAS - European Travel Information and Authorisation System

Fortunately for some, UK citizens who have official residence in the EU don't require ETIAS authorisation.

Only potential problem I see is at airline check in when some jobsworth demands sight of authorisation before allowing boarding. Here's what I was told -

Thank you for contacting the Europe Direct Contact Centre.

Article 2 of the Regulation establishing a European Travel Information and Authorisation System (ETIAS) provides for the scope of applicability of the Regulation. As per its Article 2, Paragraph 2(d), holders of residence permits referred to in point 16 of the Schengen Borders Code (EU 2016/399), e.g. long-term residents with freedom of movement rights, are not bound by the ETIAS Regulation. Therefore, as a third-country national with a residence permit in a Member State, you would not be required to obtain an ETIAS authorisation before travelling to the Schengen Area.
 
I have found my mother in laws Irish berth certificate so my wife’s Irish roots are all coming back to her she says. Just need to find a slot for her to part with uk passport as I think you have to send off to get a green passport .
 
My dad was born in France but I believe he has to get a French passport before I gain any rights.
He is very unlikely to apply for one.

She does not need to give up her UK passport and can have both UK and Irish ones. Info to apply for Irish one is online.
 
To get an Irish passport you have to be an Irish citizen which is relatively simple, if you claim it by birth, or more involved, if you claim by residency. The Irish authorities will require but return the UK passport while processing your application for Irish citizenship. Once you have Irish citizenship then you can apply for an Irish passport. They are two separate processes. It's a slow process!

The lady being discussed above already has Irish citizenship as her mother has an Irish birth certificate. She only needs to apply for an Irish passport. Anyway, we digress from the thread.

The mother-in-law has Irish citizenship but the daughter without an Irish birth certificate will still need to claim Irish citizenship by descent.

No, having a parent being born on the island of Ireland makes one an Irish citizen. It is only if your Grandparent was Irish do you need to go through the foreign birth registration process.
