How does Northern Ireland work

How does Northern Ireland work?
I read on Wikipedia that people born in Northern Ireland have both Irish Citizenship and UK Citizenship, but it is all owned by UK. Is that true? So if I was born in Northern Ireland I could just go to Ireland without a visa?

MOST people born in Northern Ireland are entitled to dual citizenship. The exceptions are babies born to non-citizen immigrants from outside Ireland OR the UK. In practice, most people only get one passport by choice, although they do have an entitlement to both. To be fair, the dual citizenship doesn't have many benefits because Ireland & the UK have a "Common Travel Area", meaning I (as an Irish citizen- not a UK one) can move to and work in the UK, and be treated almost as a citizen of that country without even a passport - never mind a visa. British citizens in Ireland and Irish citizens in the UK aren't, and never have been, treated as foreigners. The only exception is they can't vote in referendums or get passports of the country they aren't citizens of. There are also the benefits of the "free movement" principles of the EU, but the Common Travel Area benefits are far more wide ranging (eg welfare benefits, voting in government elections, immunity from deportation (although not extradition) etc). It stems from the fact that in the original constitution of Ireland, Ireland claimed (in words) the sovereignty of the whole island. This was only relatively recently changed, and part of the agreement was that the "people of Northern Ireland" had the right to identify as Irish, British or both, and to have Irish, British or both passports.

Northern ireland is NOT owned by anybody else only the people who live there and the majority have voted to remain PART of the UK. And they can chose british,irish or both hence they live in ireland (NI)and are part of the uk. No visa is required.
3 :
You wouldn't need a visa anyway, because both countries are members of the EU. The passport/citizenship thing was an agreement between the Irish and British governments as part of sorting out the differences between the two main communities up there.
4 :
Its very simple. Everyone born there is naturally British. This is same throughout the world nationality by birth whether they like it or not. However under Good Friday Agreement they can apply for dual ctizenship as a few in the north still feel a little allegiance to the ROI .

What would be the best way for a former U.S. Marine to relocate, live and work in Ireland

What would be the best way for a former U.S. Marine to relocate, live and work in Ireland?
I have no "college experience", but lots of engineering experience. I can learn anything, but I would also take any job to start out. What would be the best path to plan for, time line about 1year to 1 1/2 years to work with before the move... Thanks.

If you where living up north as a former marine you might want to consider joining the PSNI (the police), but seriously work is hard to come by all over Ireland at the minute, hopefully in a year or two things will have improved. Engineering and Manufacturing are not what they used to be in Ireland.
2 :
The above answer has a point. You could join the police in N. Ireland as the IRA terrorist threat to the whole of Ireland increases again.
3 :
You'd need to get a college education first. But you could start applying for jobs from where you are in the US, and if you get a job offer in writing from an Irish company registered with the Irish tax authorities here, then you can apply for your residency/work permit, again from the US. I should warn you that the economic situation here in Ireland is as bad as everywhere else and that highly qualified Irish people and EU nationals are having a tough time getting work, and Irish employers are legally obliged to employ local nationals first - plus there isn't the expensive financial rigmarole of sorting out the bureaucratic red tape that they would have with employing you. Even if you do get the job offer in writing, there's no guarantee that the residency/work permit will be automatic. Another way of doing this would be to look among your parents and grandparents and see if any of them emigrated from what are now European Union countries - and please understand that 'Europe' and 'European Union' are not the same thing, as there are many countries in Europe that are NOT members of the European Union. However, if you have a parent or grandparent who emigrated from an EU country, you could look into getting a passport of that country, and as a national of an EU member state you would be entitled to live and work anywhere in the EU in theory - however, given the economic situation at the moment, in practice this might be a bit different.

I wonder why you would consider moving to Ireland of all places? The weather is dire more often than not, the cost of living is far more expensive than in the US and in 1-2 years time we may just about be clawing our way of out the recession, you know about the recession I think you have one in America too if I remember rightly? Best bet would be to try Australia I would think. There are nearly 450,000 people living in Ireland looking for a job and Irish/EU citizens are given preference when it comes to job appointments.

Try swimming here. If you're a former marine you should be up to it.
