Yes you are entitled to apply for Irish citizenship. Irish citizenship is a privilege and an honour not an entitlement.

In a straight forward cases, it could take between 6 months and 2 years.

How to apply? Well download Form 8 application form in INIS website and take it from there
I oppose stereotype, prejudice, xenophobe, judgmental, Ignorance, and beloved.

summmer75, do you live in Ireland ad if yes for how long have you been here?

If you have been here for at least 3 years you should be entitled to apply for citizenship.

Some people got the citizenship in 10 months and other had to wait for 5 years, but given the improvement in waiting times lately, if your case is straight forward you should be able to get it within a year.
