If you are an Irish citizen and you want to continue living in the UK, you do not need to apply to the EU Settlement Scheme. The rights of Irish people to live, work and access public services in the UK are protected under the Common Travel Area arrangement.

What is the most Irish city in England?
Liverpool
Arguably the most Irish city in England, Liverpool has a long history of Irish emigration dating back to the Irish Famine. Liverpool is the closest English city to Ireland, which meant that thousands of people fleeing the famine in Ireland landed in the city.
Are Irish citizens entitled to British passport?
If you only have Irish citizenship, you still have the right to live and work in the UK permanently – you don’t need British citizenship. You can still apply for British citizenship if you’re eligible. Check if citizenship is right for you before you apply – it can cost more than £1,300.
Why is Liverpool so Irish?
As Liverpool gained prominence as a port city, many Irish made the leap and emigrated to the city in search of a brighter and more prosperous future. Labourers, drovers and artisans were within that bunch, as well as middle-class families who were to make their mark on Liverpool’s future (more on that a bit later).
Can you hold a UK and Irish passport at the same time?
If you are an eligible British citizen, you may be permitted to hold both a British and Irish passport. If you can provide evidence of your claim to Irish citizenship, you will be able to hold both passports. Not all countries allow dual citizenship, but Ireland and the UK are two of the countries that do.
