Rather then emailing you can use an Official form and get your own garda vetting report( all the info that gardai hold about you on the pulse will be disclosed to you under data p...

When you were filling the application form, there is choice of 2 different types. One is long type for people needing extra pages for visas, stamps,etc and one is the standard EU size.
You must have chosen the Big passport

The law has changed. Before people were coming in pregnant giving birth here, and the child was automatically given an irish residence. That has changed in 2005. Unfortunately your child will not be able to get an irish citizenship. There are some exceptions where parents are legally living in eire ...

Could someone please tell me what happens at the ceremony?
Is everybody individually called to come forward and sign something or are we just given the certs?

I just want to be informed of the correct procedure before i go there?

Not sure, but there is 5 years probation period for new EU joiners, so likely it will be yes.

But again, this is Ireland and you probably wont know until it happened.

Why would be of your concern weather the marriage is fake or not?
Their life's not yours.
Besides if you are not 100,000% sure with proof to prove it, you can be sued as previous poster already mentioned.
