A fellow from work just got his letter last week from the DOJ. He applied in June 05. He was declined citizenship due to a drunk driving conviction with a 2 year suspension on his licence in 06. He also got a speeding ticket prior to that. SO DONT DRINK AND DRIVE OR GET INTO TROUBLE WITH THE LAW.!!!...
I find it strange that in every website giving advice on Irish immigration , the timeline for processing of applications varies. Most cases it is far short of actual time. Is there some misleading from the authorities????????????.
A new report has found that the projected demand for information and communication technology (ICT) workers in Ireland will exceed domestic supply in the coming years. As a result, Ireland will need to look to overseas graduates to shore up its labour market. Look at the report here. http://www.work...
With the general population unhappy with the influx of semi and or unskilled workers into Ireland, and with the notion of that ALL immigrants are bad for Ireland, we need to highlite our standing in the country.
News from the irish Independant newspaper. The findings show immigration was an unspoken factor in the vote, as people expressed concern about the numbers of immigrants coming to the country in such a short time. The rise in unemployment, allied to foreign workers coming to the country, was also cit...
Well with the criminals coming in from the new eu states and with the media reporting on these crimes commited by them, it again looks like we, who are from outside the eu are carrying the can and are required to get police clearance cert, and jump through more hoops This is done to apease the publi...
I think that the government is worried, now that the economy is slowing down and there are more and more people signing on to the live register for unemployment benefits. They know that the majority of emigrants who come over in the boom times are highly qualified, as well as having brought money in...
It would seem that the permission to remain without condition as to time application is for persons not wanting to apply for citizenship. I think that you can only apply for one or the other, not both. They may even come back to you requesting that you send in a letter stating one or the other, thus...
It would seem that the permission to remain without condition as to time application is for persons not wanting to apply for citizenship. Long-Term Residency If you have lived and worked in Ireland for a total of 5 years (60 months) you can write to the Department of Justice, Equality and Law Reform...
This is all they have on the website. Looks like you can only apply through the post. Without Condition As To Time Endorsements Categories of qualifying persons 1. Applicant has resided in the legally in the State more than eight years 2. Applicant has previous passport endorsement If you have compl...
Well I believe that with the slowdown in the economy, and with departmental budget cuts coming, it dosent take a gunius to work out where the cuts will be made. SO EXPECT EVEN MORE. REDTAPE, DELAYS, and whatever they can come up with to slow the process down.
Regarding the website.. a couple of years ago there was a website that advised people not to move to Canada and contained a large amount of testimonials, their problem was that PhD graduates were driving taxis etc I also recalled that they got quite a bit of attention as a result. You dont need to ...

Well for one, two of my closest friends and family have now left Ireland for Australia. The reasoning is that by the time the citizen application is processed in Ireland they would have already got their Australian citizenship. The other being that the wether is sooooooo much better. I however like ...
That is a great idea. However, logistically it would be very difficult to implement as a lot of citizen applicants would not know of the protest. Any idea's as to getting this across?
I have as of today got about 60 people who have applied for citizenship to post out a letter to the minister of justice. This letter is the one posted on this forum. I strongly advise that we keep posting these to the minister as well as to the newspapers. KEEP UP THE PRESSURE. What about a protest ...
Don't you think that the present gov is already against us? Why are they so reluctent to get this issue of giving citizenship to legal applicants. They are crying for the legalization of iligals in the USA, but as regards to us who are legally in Ireland contributing to the GDP and paying taxes, are...
I believe that all of us on this blog are in the same boat as regards the time to process our application for citizenship. With this in mind what is the possibility of getting the opposition involved. Think about all the possible new votes that they would get if they could get our applications throu...
