Hi All,
This is something i have been trying to find out for a while, being a Guard our father took the opinion that all/ Irish / Republican ideals were as bad as the IRA, therefore we were raised in a non Irish manner, except a bit of Greyhound racing with the grandfather, since then i learned Irish (Well am intermediate) having left Secondary school with none and no idea of Irish history, one thing i wish to do is abandon the English of my name completly as i want my children to be known by there Irish surname, but how do you go about this, are you legally entitled to just start using it, eventually i want my passport and all to reflect this, any advise would be much appreicated...
Thanks
