May be fill in the residency calculator form as we all did before we apply for naturalisation certificate ,alternatively email INIS and ask them to give you an official letter ,I think both will be OK but the second one will be better as it will be an official letter from INIS stating all the dates ...
No matter what we say ,it just doesn't change anything. We are not people infront of them, we are just numbers and files .It was our decision to stay in this country and become it's Citizens ,as a whole I enjoyed my time in here .I think everybody here will agree that the citizenship journey was fr...

I am afraid to say its not only them ,the whole civil service in Ireland comes to halt in the month of August .
The whole civil service here is inefficient .The same pandemic is worse across the border in the UK but if you look at them people are getting their passports within 2-4 weeks .
When I spoke to them this morning they said that my application is in a queue to be checked by an entitlement officer ,I think from last week someone said that they applied on 22nd of June and their application is awaiting a review by an officer .I think its because of August and half of the people ...
Quick update
I was chatting with the online team and they said that application is awaiting to be checked, all the documents are scanned on to the system.
Applied on 30/6
Processing since 2/7
As per the chat team another 4-5 weeks
Well I can't vote on civil service incompetency,can I? I am just raising an issue on how this whole process is being conducted, I am not a lawyer but I think if a government department gives us a date then they are legally responsible for delivering on that day. I also have come to a conclusion that...
I just don't understand that how can scanning and an entitlement officer looking at it and saying it's OK can take 2 months. On the matter of checking our identity and documents we have been getting our work permits and stamps from them every year, I believe they have few copies of my birth passport...
If they say there is a backlog then they should work extra hours to clear it or deploy more staff, I think the civil service needs to cop on and starts processing it within due time
Article 4(3) of European Council Directive 2004/38/EC places a duty on the Irish State, as a matter of EU law, to issue, and renew, Irish passports to Irish citizens. This duty is subject to the right to good administration arising as a general principle of EU law. An unreasonable delay in issuing o...
I think I agree with Summer 2021, I know citizenship is not entitlement but you are entitled to a passport as an Irish citizen. They have already confirmed our identity during the NATURALIZATION phase. I think there is a famous solicitor firm who is taking DFA to High Court on unnecessary waits for ...
If my memory serves me right I believe there is box on form 8 where they say if there is an offence committed by the applicant kindly disclose it, if you got the points after the application there is no harm in informing them
I would advise to declare it as if it comes on the vetting disclosure they would say why didn't you tell us, atleast if you disclose they can't come back and say your actions were dishonest

My experience was different, I got a call from team 3 and said that I missed my delivery and the passport was returned to them. I had tk confirm my address with then and they sent it back via registered post. I think it depends on the postman either he will put it through the post box or will leave ...

I got the first email immediately after submitting the fee and 2nd email on 10th of May confirming that the payment has been processed. The online status also changed from submitted to Completed. ...
I just emailed them with my full name and citizenship reference number with the personal ID number and said that I want FOI regarding my citizenship application.
