Hi I'm posting to record my current timeline to help others gauge where they are in the FBR process. 25/8/2018 - Applied online & sent documents to Embassy of Ireland in London. 29/8/2018 - Acknowledgement by email "up to six months to process". Thanks Ian, Mine was received in Dublin...

Good to hear Sulla! I for one will miss your expertise and insights on this message board. Oh, I won't be calling it a day just yet. I still have to wait to actually get the passport.
