Any ideas on how to write to the minister? Is it just addressed to:
Minister for Justice and Equality Frances Fitzgerald
Dept of Justice and Equality
94 St. Stephen's Green,
Dublin 2

Or is there another address?

Cheers!

Thanks Kunsky. I didn't have to Email them afterall as I received my approval letter today. Happy days! :)
Hi Obaya,

Did you have any traffic offenses ( speeding etc) or any type of convictions during your stay in Ireland ?

Thanks

Just to avoid the possibility of backfire, start by sending a letter directed to the person who sent you 2nd ack and if u here no satisfactory answer within max 3 days send to doj (address of minister office is there) and direct it to francis name.. I actually got response from her fb page in matter of 10 mins and the person who answered was one from her office and promised to pass details subject to calling or mailing my issue as fb is not good medium to send..

her addresses if the above fails is:

Dail Eireann, Leinster House, Dublin 2
and
9 Main Street, Clondalkin, Dublin 22 (her TD office)

@all
I managed to talk to the inis department just a moments ago. They told I am in the last phase and everything is fine hence should wait a bit more to get the approval letter which will come in few days/weeks time....
Best of luck to all who are waiting

Do you know it used to be 4 years is the min it could take up to 7 years or even 11 , it used to be like that and that was the reason i never applied since 1998. :)
