guys,
the worst feeling about this article is the quality of the services of GNIB. i have read many of this type of article in internet forums. all the irish gov is saying people should pay for the services they use and many countries in the world charging for residency permit.
i really do agree with the minister. people should pay for the services they used, but people should only pay for a reasonable services and not only pay for a service that never change its quality.
did anyone really able to get an answer from the ticket desk in GNIB unless they make a fuss about it? now the registration fees and citizenship application fees increased. did it change anything compare to before they increased the fees? the registration procedures are exactly the same and they only give out a certain amount of tickets everyday. the citizenship application processing time had never improved. people still have to wait for more then 2.5 years before they hear anything from the citizenship application. also, the irish gov has placed more procedures for long term residency such as police certificate for all the long term residency application. the concern i have is not about why people have to submit the police certificate for their long term residency application. the thing i concern about the police certificate is that the irish gov started to ask for the police certificate from all the applicants including the one already submitted their application before the INIS changed their rules. is this really legal in the rule of law. if they starting to ask people to submit the police certificate for their citizenship application, i was wondering, how much time would increase for the citizneship application processing time.
the times article mentioned the migrants never complaint about it. well, it is not like they dont want to complaint about it. even they do, is anything really going to change? the waiting time just got worst and worst. the immigration services are so bad it had never improve in ireland that it is more like a katrina never left Louisiana.
