I phoned them yesterday to find out why I am not getting any acknowledgement that they got the application and they said that they have a large mail backlog. She checked and the application was not even in the system yet and I mailed it out 4 weeks ago. Worried now that it may have gone missing.... ...

What is the citizenship of the child? Are you and your wife the parents of the child, listed on the birth certificate? Are one of you citizens of another EU member state, other than Ireland? In any case, travel should be very easy if you all have passports and you have the birth certificate. Where ...

Do I understand this correctly? My wife and I are both Irish citizens, but my 12-year old son is non-EU.

Does anybody know if my son needs to be present when the application is made? He is in school and would not like to take him out if not needed.

I phoned this morning to get a status update and was told that it is at the minister for approval. Anybody any idea how long to wait from...

Just phoned and they say my application is in the final stages of approval. In fact it is at the Minister for his approval now. Does anybody know how long it will take from here? Thanks! Could you please tell when did you apply and when did they ask for additional docs? Sorry, I applied in late Aug...
