simple saying, immediately before your kids was born in NI, you must reside there for 4 consecutive years - with all due respect, I must disagree with your conclusion.
What you stated is section 6A(1) of the Irish Nationality and Citizenship Act 2004. However the most important point is section 6A(2)(c)(i) -
(2) This section [meaning section 6A(1)] does not apply to—
(c) a person born in the island of Ireland—
(i) to parents at least one of whom was at the time of the person's birth a British citizen or a person entitled to reside in Northern Ireland without any restriction on his or her period of residence,
What section 6A(2)(c)(i) meant is that anyone born in the island of Ireland with a British Citizen parent is not subject to the restrictions listed in section 6A(1).

Although this is old news, but worth remembering -
Hong Kong Consular team provides support to British National (Overseas) prisoners detained overseas
More than 60 BN(O) passport holders who have been detained abroad have requested assistance from their nearest British mission. Given issues with language and that the detainees’ families live in Hong Kong rather than the UK, consular staff in the British Consulate-General Hong Kong help to offer support to these detainees. This can include sending money to the arrested person from their families, sending messages between the arrested person and their families, assisting with translation issues or helping them apply for a prisoner transfer to Hong Kong where possible.
Continuing our commitment to providing excellence in consular assistance, the consular team in Hong Kong undertakes annual visits to those posts which have a significant number of BN(O) prisoners in the region.
This annual round of visits to Thailand, the Philippines, Taiwan and Japan has just been completed, covering around 40 prisoners. These visits give BN(O) prisoners the opportunity to speak in their native Cantonese, to receive news from their family in Hong Kong, and to hear about life in Hong Kong. The team also take the opportunity provided by these visits to help liaise with local authorities to arrange some basic medical treatment, and raise any issues of concern with the local authorities.

家陣先廿歲 大學都未讀完 冇諗到咁長遠
如果香港政治情況再係咁差 2047前我應該會過去英國 - all I would say is that the earlier you move over to the UK the better. This will make adjustment a bit easier and if it is your aim to stay in the UK for three years in order to be able to pass on your British Citizenship to your child born outside of the UK, you should remember to collect evidence of your stay in the UK - for example Council tax bill (差 餉 ), P45 and P60.
