Can you folks please provide some feedback/suggestions what happens at the port of entry in Dublin via passing through immigration, I know to bring the letter of approval as proof. Any other comments or suggestion are welcome.

Thanks is advance

It will probably be at the discretion of the Guard.

My wife was a non-EU national resident of Ireland and holder of a GNIB card. She submitted hers to the DoJ, as requested, together with her €950 fee and photos, ahead of the citizenship ceremony to which she was invited to attend. We subsequently spent some time in Britain and flew back to Ireland specifically to attend the ceremony. On arrival in Dublin airport, the Garda did ask the whereabouts of my wife's GNIB card, so we told him the truth, that it's been surrendered to the DoJ because my wife will become an Irish citizen tomorrow. He just waived her through.
