It works both ways, if they can invest because fingers are not equal, they might aswell seek wealth creations elsewhere if nothing is dropping in Ireland on the basis of equal opportunity, hope that clears your ambiguity.

Whether you give it now, 2013 or further, we don't really care to be honest, you're just wasting time on a burial of a dead body's mate.

I am so lucky, i am been dealt with by same person as my wife in the further processing department, so no magic on that, and no injury tricks again in the Irish Immigration department.

And we do congratulate the new government with their good work promised on immigration in Ireland, with indefiance to date on the rule of bally's like.

[nissa]

my understanding is that when we sending our documents to the department you cant say that what department will answer you back ites all depend that who will receive your post it may a employee of initial processing team or may a employee of further processing team so do not think after getting correspondence letter that your file is in the same department you got letter from.

yes it is true who ever receive ur letter normally give u the answer so dont worry

[nissa]

some time post goes to initial processing team and some time post goes to further processing team that's all i thinks.other wise how come is this possible that in April i got letter from further processing team and now again
i applied in feb 2011 i got letter back from initial processing team why? any ideas so please share so that others will also aware of it.thanks

[starbuck]

Nissa --> Some how i don't understand your logic. I think who ever receives the letter, would direct it to the team which is currently processing ones file. In that way, its streamlined and it would not be juggled between initial/further teams.

I believe that it should be the way .. i can well be corrected.

thanks

Please the naturalization department never mix up initial processing with Further processing, because further processing section does collate all the reports and send to the minister by recommendation for suitability and common good, while initial processing is a start who's main duties is to send out questionnaire to various outside agency after assessing applicant eligibility criteria by standard and if an applicant does not meet the standard it will not be process, and Naturalization department never granted citizenship by virtue of baby in Ireland rather than common good and whether the applicant meet the eligibility criteria, hope that answered your question because it does seems that, some tricks is about to occurs please minister be aware because of the rush and the rate of approval, and please i don't want you to believe me or trust me, because i have the same notion about you aswell.

[nissa]

i wish to agree with u but unfortunately i don't want to agree at this stage.i got reply after one day day i couldn't believe some 1 care a lot to find out in a day what department my file is.some people will say its a efficiency to answer in a day i wouldn't say so.easy to answer in a day to pretend processing is going very fast but where is my decision then why people complain every where and for what.
same letter with different names sending to every 1 not even one change of word in it.

And we continuously shacking because they've discovered a crime on us and allow criminal to enter back to his country of residence, is that possible dude ?

Next ceremony date: 30 Aug 2012.

[rosdoodoo]

Any info on the figure or numbers of the new applicant that'll be approve for the next ceremony and when they'll start rolling out letters for payment of the usual 950 euros and thus lets us know if 2010/11 will be among the approval because there's tension in the people waiting now having resided in Ireland for almost 12 years now, all the best to all.

Alan Shatter TD, Minister for Justice, Equality and Defence, Citizenship Ceremony at the Convention Centre, Dublin


[For Information: Retired Justice Bryan McMahon is presiding over the 10:30
am and 12:20 pm ceremonies, while Justice John MacMenamin will be presiding
over the afternoon ceremonies of 2:30 pm and 4:20 pm]

Ladies and Gentlemen,

You are all most welcome on this very special occasion. The granting of
citizenship to a person who has come to our country from a foreign land is
quite clearly a major event in his or her life. It is a time of
celebration, a rite of passage and a moment for all of you to cherish. It
is also a solemn event for this State to grant citizenship. I also welcome
you to this wonderful convention centre with its iconic architecture; it is
indeed a fitting place for hosting this most important occasion for you as
our newest citizens and for us as the host nation in bestowing this honour
on you.

As Minister for Justice and Equality, I am in law given the duty of

deciding who should be awarded the privilege of citizenship. In doing so,

I have to carefully apply the citizenship laws enacted by our Parliament

and consider the individual circumstances of those who seek Irish

citizenship. I take that duty very seriously, as I am acting on behalf of

all Irish people in deciding who should be granted the privilege of Irish

citizenship. We do not award citizenship lightly and it is right that its

granting is marked by a sense of occasion that serves to underscore its

importance to you, the person receiving it, and to us who, on behalf of the

people of Ireland, grant it to you.

You have come to our country and have chosen to live among us. Some of you

have been waiting a considerable time for this day to arrive. Today, we

welcome you to our nation as its newest citizens and we hope that you will

continue to contribute to our communities, to our neighbourhood and to our

society. As a people we have been enriched by your presence and in making

you citizens of our ancient and proud land we are acknowledging that

contribution.

Our ceremony today is greatly enhanced by the presence of Bryan McMahon,

one of our foremost lawyers, recently retired High Court Judge and a

greatly respected patron of the arts. Bryan will lend great dignity to the

proceedings in his role as presiding officer and his presence signifies in

a very public way the importance and solemnity of the occasion. I want to

thank you most sincerely, Bryan, for taking on this task.

I would like to thank the Garda Band conducted by Inspector Pat Kenny, and

the Colour Party from the Second Infantry Battalion for joining us for this

important ceremony.

I also want to thank the staff of my own department and in particular the

staff of the Citizenship Section in Tipperary who have been instrumental in

organizing today’s programme of ceremonies.

I referred earlier to the length of time that many of you here today will

have waited for your citizenship applications to be processed. When the

Government came into office 15 months ago on 9th March 2011 there was an

enormous backlog of approximately 22,000 citizenship applications awaiting

decision. Approximately 17,000 of these had been waiting in a barely moving

queue for in excess of 6 months with an average waiting time in excess of

two years. Some, indeed, had waited 3 to 4 years.

Having made decisions on almost 28,000 applications since I took office,

including more than 13,800 so far this year, I think I can safely say that

the steps that I initiated within my Department to deal with the backlog of

citizenship applications have been a huge success.

This citizenship ceremony, along with 3 others taking place here today,

together with the 47 other ceremonies which have taken place since we

introduced this universally welcomed initiative in June of last year, is a

major celebratory event in the citizenship process. Citizenship Ceremonies

have also been pivotal in addressing the backlog of citizenship

applications. Had we not put them in place, our District Courts – where

you would have been required to make the declaration you are making here

today – would have been overwhelmed by the sheer volume of applicants.

This of course would also have meant that you would have had to endure even

further delays in becoming citizens.

Today’s ceremonies also have a special significance – almost a year ago, on

24th of June 2011, the first Citizenship Ceremony ever held in this State

took place in the Dublin Castle Convention Centre. On that day, we

welcomed 73 new citizens to our national family. Today, in this state of

the art venue, we welcome 4,000. Over the coming months we plan to host a

further 11 ceremonies over 3 days here in this facility. I think your

presence here today deserves a special round of applause.

This ceremony on the award of citizenship marks in a very public way one of

the very potent and powerful manifestations of our independence as a

nation.

The history of this State is now your history and the narrative of your

life is now part of our history. For those of you granted citizenship

today your future is now interwoven with the future of this State, its

citizens across the globe and, in particular, all of us who live on this

island.

I wish to congratulate you, one and all, on becoming our newest Irish

Citizens – we welcome you to our national family.

I now formally introduce Judge Bryan McMahon and call upon him to

administer the declaration of Fidelity, in which you publicly declare your

loyalty to our Nation and Fidelity to our State as well as an undertaking

to faithfully observe the laws of the State and respect its democratic

values.
