Many thanks Littlerr. Much appreciated your help on this forum.

Ah great. Many thanks Littlerr. I was worried that they might revoke the citizenship of my son. So just to confirm, I dont need to submit anything and once 5 years passport expired, then it can be renewed without any issue whether he is living in Ireland or outside? Also can the passport be renewed ...

FAO Littlerr,

Can you please share your thought on my above query please? I am going to apply in a couple of weeks and afraid that they wont accept my application even tough I was genuinely stuck outside of Ireland. I am thinking to apply through solicitor for this issue.

Thanks in advance.

Thanks very much for the information. It looks like there should not be an issue but you never know, they might come back with questions/verifications. Anyway I intended to come back and I had the tickets as well which the airline cancelled due to covid 19. Lets see what they say when I will apply. ...

Hi All, I need your advise please. I have applied for citizenship on 15 January 2020 based on 5 years residency.
