According to the Guardian children of asylum seekers born in Ireland can and are being deported back to their country of origin.

It was always a hope for many that if their children were born in the country that they fled to that the parents would be allowed to stay.

quote:
Under a loophole in its constitution (now closed), children born in Ireland were automatically granted citizenship until this year. However, a Supreme Court ruling in January of last year said that while an Irish-born child has a right to have the care and company of its parents, there is no right for this to take place in Ireland.
