Naturalization is the process of granting the rights, protection, privileges, and responsibilities of native subjects to foreign immigrants. Irish naturalization required an act of Parliament. A less-expensive alternative to naturalization was denization, a process granting all the rights of a subject, except the right to inherit property or to hold public office. A denizen simply paid a fine (fee) and took an oath of allegiance. Generally, denization or naturalization was granted only to male adults. | {{Ireland-sidebar}} Naturalization is the process of granting the rights, protection, privileges, and responsibilities of native subjects to foreign immigrants.
