Time spent on a work visa/authorisation counts towards the 5 year residence requirement. However once you have the 5 years it is likely your application will take between 2.5 and 3 years to process as there is a huge backlog.

Thanks. so its means my 2 year will be counted in 5 years.
My 2 yers working visa will be finished on June . I am still working as ICT prof. in Dublin. Can i apply for another 2 year working visa? I have Stamp 4 for the moment.
