How independent is Ireland really?

I find it really strange that southern Ireland can get a vote here - presumably they have to be resident in the UK at the time.
Even commonwealth citizens can vote!

But presumably they do actually have to be living in the UK in order to vote (I can't imagine we would send postal voting papers to an address in ROI or a commonwealth country). But then again who knows!
It's reciprocated. Irish persons resident in UK can vote in UK elections, and UK persons resident in Eire can vote in the Dáil - Commonwealth people resident in the UK also enjoy the right to vote in UK elections. Although there are rumours that this may change with a private members bill from elements within the Tory party...
Perhaps Dutchies should have joined the British Empire, rather than being too busy building their own Oranje Empire and getting excommunicated by the Pope, then pvr could have had his say...
