Are you an Irish citizen? If so it wouldnt be a problem. as a matter of interest,why do you want to join the Irish Army in preference to the Bundeswehr? (dunno if i spelled that right,thank God for the moderator)
There is or was a lad in the west who is half German. I thought his nickname was Helmet and wondered why until someone explained to me that his name is Helmuth.
Anyway he was a space cadet who's party piece was a Sex Pistols number complete with breaking beer bottles off the wall.

I´m not a citizen at present. I live in Germany and I was thinking of joining the irish army because of the reductions. Please give me some information about the conditions.
Perhaps you should visit the Defence Forces website and contact a man power officer, www.military.ie .
I don't know what your chances are but you might have to live in Ireland for 6 months before enlistment, but don't take this as complete fact.
As a matter of interest, how about an Irish person joining the Bundeswehr? - obviously the person must be a resident, but is there any restrictions on irish people joining?
I'd imagine a good command of the German language would be a good starting
point. As for eligibility, I imagine their requirements may be similiar to ours,
i.e; be a citizen by birth, be born of parents so born, or hold citizenship, in which
case, other factors would apply...
