Residency permissions are evidenced by stamps in your passport...
Please note that any failure to register with the Garda National Immigration Bureau within a reasonable period will be taken into account in assessing your application...
Where there are significant absences from the State during the currency of permission further enquiries may be necessary and the application may be refused...
Gaps between permissions are periods of unlawful residence and are not reckonable...
Important: You are required to verify that you satisfy the naturalisation residency conditions before lodging an application. The Online Naturalisation Residency Calculator Tool is available as a guide to whether you satisfy the naturalisation residency conditions" - INIS
