Im glad finally people arent complaining about the backlogs anymore. There is hardly a backlog now and citizenship applications are been prosessed faster than normal nowadays. Per prediction if Alan Shatter is still in office, in 2014 there will be no backlog at all and applications will be decided...

I think it all depend on when INIS send your application for Vetting. When they say your application have enter second stage does not mean they have sent it to Garda Vetting, can someone prove me wrong here? Very wrong. Even simply Garda vetting for employers that only requires criminal check takes...

I think the Minister has the power to give whoever he want to give Irish citizenship regardless if you are on SOCIAL WELFARE, CRIMINAL RECORD or SHAM MARRIAGE. I think we all should be praying for our turn to come not passing comments on giving people on social welfare, driving offences or sham marr...
