FWIW once you get your appointment, I can confirm they're turning around GNIB cards in 2 weeks, just picked mine up the other day. This was in Killarney, a smaller office than Dublin
There simply aren’t that many foreigners outside of the capital
I lived in Louth for the first year and I did my registration on the very next day - go to the Garda station, take the fingerprint and picture, pay the money, job done. Imagine how surprised I was when I moved to Dublin and had to start queuing from 5am to get a ticket for late afternoon. Even after the introduction of the online appointment system, it usually takes us days of constant refreshing the appointment page to get one slot.
