It's worth noting that Trisha Kanyamarala was born in 2005, and I believe she is the first Irish WIM.
David, you don't seem to have noticed that I mentioned Trisha's WIM title earlier in the thread.

Her brother Tarun is an FM and there are some other Irish IMs, FMs (also FAs) whom I have not mentioned.

You can do an advanced search on the FIDE ratings website. For example, for all IRL players with playing titles.
There are 42 including CM and WCM but some are inactive.

The list seems to be missing two Irish IMs:

Alex Astaneh Lopez (2011)
Conor E. Murphy (2021)

Alex Lopez was listed at the beginning of this thread, but seems to have been dropped somewhere along the line.

Thanks. Fernandez is 2487, and needs to go over 2500 for the title?
The FIDE site suggests he became a GM in 2017:

Correct, October was the first month that 2500 was achieved and March 2018 he went to 2505.
