Congratulations Robert. Thanks to you and the ACLU for taking this fight to the courts. You have done all of us a great service.

The only error I see, the article states he is "Irish born", but from Belfast N Ireland. If he was born in Belfast, that would make from a UK Citizen, not Irish unless his mother or father where from ROI.

There is no error. If a person is born in N Ireland they can hold both a UK and an Irish passport.

You can hold British, Irish or Dual Citizenship if you were born in Northern Ireland - simply depends on what passport office you go to.

I agree that the text is a little ambiguous. I'm from Belfast, Northern Ireland too, and it's part of the UK. When I went through my background checks for my permanent residency, the Department of Homeland Security did a check in the Republic of Ireland, and found nothing. I had to convince the inspector, at my face-to-face, that it really was part of the UK. I used the example of Baja California, and California. Of course he had no idea and acted completely dumbfounded.
