This should explain everything: https://www.irishimmigration.ie/citizenship/applications-based-on-irish-descent-or-irish-associations/ In short you are eligible to apply under Irish Associations. That is incorrect, its even in your link. "An Irish association through a great-grandparent, (or a...

If your wife is not an Irish citizen, then you or your wife must have at least 3 full years of residence in Northern Ireland in the last 4 years at the time of your child's birth. If it's less than 3 years, then your child will not qualify for Irish citizenship. Since the UK is not a member of EU a...
Regardless, as @shakey once pointed out, to be granted citizenship through descent/associations is stronger than through naturalisation since it cannot be stripped away/rescinded. Overall, it might be worth the wait to gain naturalisation through associations for the simple reason you would not ris...
We can take it from two sides; I am not concerned about the explanation they put to clarify things, and they do not judge from information in the web site, I am concerned about putting statements in the web site that is against the citizenship laws. The Irish Nationality and Citizenship Act is expl...
To be fair this is a welcome explanation as it clears up how the department understand "Irish Associations". In theory a person could come to Ireland and within nine months apply for citizenship because they had a child with an Irish or British citizen. Not exactly what the law was envisa...
an application claiming an Irish association by ‘ascent’ (i.e. based on being the parent of Irish citizen children) or through Irish citizen siblings is not considered as sufficient to warrant or justify recommending the Minister exercise absolute discretion to waive the statutory conditions, in th...
Please note that I have been advised by the relevant area that your
documents have been received.
Processing of your application is well advanced and you will be informed of
the Ministers decision in due course.

I have no idea how I missed this before, but they are saying applications based on Irish Association take an excess of 30 months to process. So I think I am right to say I will hear closer to my 3 year period. https://www.irishimmigration.ie/citizenship/applications-based-on-irish-descent-or-irish-...
And actually, I'm still worried because this page says: Other documents that may be needed: If your parent became an Irish citizen through: The Foreign Births Register Document Needed: Original Foreign Birth Registration Certificate Which seems to imply that he needed to be registered and I need to...
I see, thanks. Does anyone here have experience of applying through having a parent who has citizenship but after your birth? I'm just wondering if it is a strong enough connection to warrant a waive. I applied under the same circumstances in January with four years residency. The way things are go...
Sorry if I wasn't clear, I'm not saying to hide them. I will show them clearly and specify the reason I was out of the country. But as my company allowed me to work remotely for a couple of weeks, I used to travel during holidays to visit my family and stay there for a month or so. What I find weir...
Thanks for the reply’s sorry I might not have explained the story properly I live in Northern Ireland so it easier for me to drive to Dublin airport and fly from there. Because I’m a Turkish citizen I have to use my passport or ID card to enter turkey flying back to Ireland I will be fine as I will...
I had a similar request to "show evidence of your mothers entitlement to Irish citizenship"
I had sent her passport bio page and her FBR certificate as well as all relevant birth/marriage death certificates. Not entirely sure what further proof they want!
While technically it is correct that UK citizens are non-EEA members now, they are still (and will continue to be) treated as EEA members in terms of citizenship applications, just like the Swiss citizens. The whole purpose of splitting applications between the two teams is that CMU1 deals with peo...

Whilst you are correct I think a claim to Irish Association is much stronger from descent rather than an Irish born child. From what I see most of the applications are from South Asian's with Irish children which to be honest is pushing it a bit. Someone like myself who is of genuine Irish descent,...
I have advised the same based on my friend’s clients’ stories and also based on quite a number of people’s experiences here. The only bulletproof 3-year naturalisation route is via marriage with an Irish citizen or being a recognised refugee. Applications based on Irish associations are like a back...
I suspect I will be an interesting test case for the viability of the Irish Associations route and having time shaved off for citizenship. Mother is Irish citizen by FBR. When I applied in January I had been in Ireland for four years so well over the three years advertised. I received the receipt/ap...
When this farce is finished?.. Wait for a visa 3 months almost a year this is sick and dramatic for families. You can see that examine only selected issues that they want. Not according to the date received. Why is everyone talking about cases blocked if every week is a few decisions EU family memb...
The idea is to have UK spouse turn into UK/EU spouse visa - no discrimination. At the moment most people failing the financial requirement in the UK would probably pass it in Ireland which would move to an Ireland/EU spouse visa. Even putting the financial requirement aside the Irish system is much...
