Thats the common sense of it. I think people that are on the advance stage and waiting now will have their citizenship approved.

Yes every one gets this recorded message u should keep trying it unless some one ans ur call. If ur lucky u will get thru after few attempt otherwise it goes for long unfortunately :(. I rang they said still waiting for reports :( dont know when this game il over .
I rang them nearly 40 times.. and I really don't wanna email them again because everytime I email them I get that same robotic reply. I applied in November 2011.. all I know is that it's in the 2nd stage now :/

you see... the only reason i applied through solicitor was because I had repeated been told by INIS and by Immigration office in burgh quay that stamp 2 does not qualify for reckonable residency no matter what.
And i used a friend who is a solicitor to file it on my behalf to try to convince them.
Later i found out by a nice lady over the phone that even though i had stamp 2 it will be counted as my parents stamps will be looked at.
these people are so dumb, dont even know what they are doing themselves.
I dont understand how they are allowed to work in INIS without even having basic knowledge of the rules and regulations.

Based on my knowledge here in Ireland most staff of some organisations i.e University/education staff, Social welfare staff, Public servant staff etc etc have very little knowledge of their system. 95% of the cases, I tend to know lot more better than them! and that sickens me!

I dont know if they just seat around all day drinking coffee/tea instead of researching and developing more knowledge about their system. And the most Ironic of them all is that they are employed!

AHHH i really dont know. its pathetic. I mean its pretty straight forward but still. not for them.
i would not be surprised if they are stilling around all day having coffee.
ill explain, even in the health care system in ireland, nurses for example. supposed to be in a clinic at 8.30 wont come in till 9, then they al have to gather and sort out their TEA breaks. which starts from 10 onwards. and lunch time starts at 12 rather than 1 pm.
its typical. seem it too many times.
its worse in other sectors.

Please don't colour everyone with the same dirty brush that you have. I know nurses (a majority that I know) who work their arse out every day! And that is your example! Would you stand by your comments if you were using your real name?

It looks like the complaints are sharper after a significant improvement was made to the process! A month of lag and we start flinging garbage at everyone! Proud irish citizens of the future!!! Shame!!! What would satisfy you guys?

If he is using his real name, I suppose he will get arrested for voicing his bad experiences? Dont take it too personal., people are meant to say things that they think are wrong!.

In my case I said 95%, and simply means that I dont generalise. I know there are 5% out there that knows exactly what they're doing.

Even an Irish citizen will tell you that most sectors are flawed. If you dont mind, this thread is for citizenship applicants and lets help people that need answers? Thank you

Just got this response from INIS..

application is currently being
processed & will be submitted to the Minister for decision as expeditiously
as possible. It is not possible to give an exact timeframe. There are no
dates confirmed yet for the ceremonies in 2013.

Now they are busy with sending invitations and therefore they will not take any phone calls. That is why they announced the date on their website.
