Govt to set up 'certificate of heritage' scheme
Millions of people of Irish descent will soon be able to apply for a certificate of heritage.
The intiative is being set up for around 70 million people across the world who do not qualify for citizenship.
It is expected that many descendents of Irish emigrants will take up the offer.
The idea of the certificate was first proposed at the Global Irish Economic Forum in Farmleigh last year.
