It means: It belongs to an Irish citizen now.

I wuda thought "saoránach Éireann" should be "saoránach d'Éirinn", coz that's what's written on my passport in anyway.

Would it be:

"He is now an Irish citizen?" But who is an Irish citizen? Or are they talking about the building?

The plaque basically goes through the history of the building by listing it's old owners and then at the end possibly in a slightly cheeky way states "An irish citizen now owns it"

Maidir led cheist gramadaí FnaB is dóigh liomsa go bhfuil an dá rud ceart..

Saoránach d'Éirinn - a citizen of Ireland
Saoránach Éireann - a citizen of Ireland...

A people without a language of its own is only half a nation.A nation should guard its language more than its territories, 'tis a surer barrier and a more important frontier than mountain or river
