The reason your FBR isn't being processed is because the Irish Government ARE being diligent. In times of crisis, a diligent organisation 'prioritises.' That means the important stuff (implementing/enforcing Covid19 prevention measures, financial support to affected businesses, addressing supply-chain issues, expanding healthcare capacity etc.) gets done and non-important stuff (i.e. processing claims to citizenship from people who had an Irish grandparent) gets stopped. Some people who are affected by this may get upset and personalise it as 'laziness,' but I'd say most people look at this with the 'blitz spirit' - i.e. when times are hard, you have to put up with some hardships.Georgia345 wrote: ↑Tue Oct 20, 2020 11:22 pmHello, yes I admit I had my entire life to do it and understand it is unprecedented times but with Ireland's population of 5million ppl if you compare the population with 3rd world countries, I just cannot understand, if they were diligent why must they stop/pause processing applications and prolong the processing time since our original docs are held by them?
I'm curious though: which third world countries' FBR programmes have kept going through this pandemic? I'm not aware of any other countries that do this, and I'd be interested in examples of those that do.
