I really need some genuine information. I got my first stamp 4 on 07/07/2014 and I have alaways continuous visa as a stamp 4.
But problem is the stamps date on my passport are not matching with my GNIB card.
Here is the stamps record on my passport
21/07/2014 - 04/06/2015
04/08/2015 - 06/07/2016
25/07/2016 - 06/07/2017
26/05/2017 - 31/07/2018
23/11/2017 - 31/07/2018
25/04/2018 - 05/04/2019
07/03/2019 - 05/04/2020
But in GNIB system have the different date.
The reason is I am living cork. And everytime I go immigration for my visa they put thing in their computer and take money from me but they never give me my card and never put stamp on my passport . They tell me that come back after 3 weeks and we will give you card and stamp.
So thats why every year I got 2-3 weeks gap in my passport but I had VISA I those 2-3 weeks as they register me the date I visit them. So this year I asked them the situation and told them what can I do. They told me I need to send a letter to INIS for my GNIB history. So I done that and after week I got full of my Ireland GNIB history. Which dates are follows.
07/07/2014 - 04/06/2015
19/01/2015 - 07/07/2015
06/07/2015 - 06/07/2016
08/07/2016 - 06/07/2017
10/05/2017 - 31/07/2018
05/04/2018 - 05/04/2019
06/03/2019 - 05/04/2020
You can see 19/01/2015 I have no stamp on my passport as when I went to immigration for my visa they register me on their system but after 2 weeks when I went for card they didn't give me the card also no stamp. I had to right letter to INIS to continue my stamp 4 which after 4 months I got reply from them with permission from minister.
Now everything make me so confused. As on today's date I can submit my application for naturalisation but if I count my stamp on my passport I need to wait couple of months more but if I take the record from gnib I am already eligible.
Can someone expert help me what should I do? Should I follow the stamps on passport or I should follow the stamp record on GNIB database. As I think citizenship team will check the GNIB database as they have no time may be check the passport stamps

Also when make residency calculator which dates I need to put? From the passport or from the GNIB history which they send me a statement of my GNIB history.
Please someone help me as I sent them email 2 times already in last one month. No reply from them.
Thanks in advance
