Not sure if it is possible, our laws prohibit dual citizenship. if you acquire Slovak citizenship, you immediately lose the other.

If you're born in Northern Ireland you are automatically a citizen of :GBR but you can also apply for :IRL citizenship and will be granted it.

Dual citizenship is allowed in both countries.

Pretty certain he doesn't have :USA citizenship though

Sabbatini said his wife wants to become US citizen so I assume he holds US citizenship as well. That's the only logical reason why a Slovakian woman would even be granted such an opportunity? I mean living in USA would mean nothing if she was married to a South African? Unless Sabbatini throws his US passport at the Immigrations office :p
