i think they will clear the backlog till next spring.justice minister alan shatter recieved the award from enda kenny more info www.justice.ie www.merrionstreet.ie

hello moro 1 as per your calculation even if some 13500 applications are left they cant deal with them until the end of the year because there is only two more ceremonies left in this year. my opinion is that the backlog is far more then this and they r not telling the truth,at this speed of nissan micra they cant pull the weight of an aeroplane,they really have to be more efficient.

How do you know that they are not saying the truth. Have they got anything to lose for saying the truth. Do you work at INIS to know the number outstanding? This is not Africa where Governments are not truthful at all. Remember that the Minister of justice was answering dail questions about outstanding figures vis a vis numbers approved to date. I believe he was being factual and reeling out figures as they are, if not he would have been controverted. Please be patient all will be sorted out as promised.

i just read the news about the minister getting award for efficiency so i do really believe there is efficiency but it is not true that all applications will be dealt with before the end of the year it will definetely by next summer time before they clear all the backlog as there is only two ceremonies left in this year as i said before.one in august and in october.

Question 492: To ask the Minister for Justice and Equality the number of applications for citizenship applied for in 2008, 2009, 2010, 2011 and to date in 2012; the number granted or refused; the number currently being processed; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [29042/12]


I think Tom Fleming TD should ask the Minister of justice another question “A breakdown of the nationalities of the 18,000 applications currently are being processed to decision stage?”

I do not think the Minister of justice will answer the above question!! Simply, the factual answer is shocking

What do you need the nationalties of people who have been granted naturalisation for. Why do you want to bring the issue of race into this. Any one who meets the statutory requirements of naturalisation is being considered irrespective of nationalties. Please do not bring issue of race into this. Remember Equality law.

Big backlog exists i have no hope at all to get any news this year may be next year until march.work is going on the previous years files.average processing time still 24 months.i wouldn't understand how the inis will process new files from June 2012 with in six months time with the backlog from previous years also exists.very complex situation for dept and for applicants also.

This year's ceremony was in february,not in January.I thought the same as you that there will be only two ceremonies more this year,one in august and one in october,but I attended the ceremony on 14th of June,where i clearly heard minister say in his speech, that there will be more ceremonies as this over the course of THREE days, not continuously,but apart,meaning there will be another day of ceremonies after october,possibly before holidays,i.e. december.And about the backlog,there is no rule.They have people from 08,09,10 and onwards waiting,while some from '11 have already gotten it with me,so there is really no rule.Godo luck to all those still waiting.

[nissa]

as the minister said backlog is 13500 people left so if there will be three ceremonies this year with 4000 people each then there is a chance that backlog will be clear.but again this is irish system which is very very slow and backward so only in the future time will tell us that if the minister is telling true or all are lies as usuall.

[alpha_1]

The forum is quiet these days.......... anyway, out of the blue this morning I received a letter from INIS stating:

'I am now writing to let you know that your application is currently being processed and will be progressed to a final decision as expeditiously as possible. In that regard, the Minister for Justice, Equality and Defence has indicated that it is expected that significant inroads will be made with remaining cases in the naturalisation backlog by year end.'

INIS acknowledged that my application has been pending for a considerable period of time.


Has anyone received such worded letter?
