As some (or many) of you know waiting time for the naturalisation and long term residency applications has grown absolutely unreasonably in the last couple of years. It now takes more than three years for a naturalisation application to be considered and more than 17 months to process a long term residency application.
To draw attention to this appalling service, we are sending a Christmas post card to both Minister of Justice and Minister of Integration with the following or similar text. Write in whatever way you feel, but do send a card to show your concern and dissatisfaction with the service the Department of Justice is providing.
Addresses to send the postcards to:Dear Mr Lenihan,
Season's greetings to you and your colleagues in the Ministry of Justice. Wishing you and your families all the very best in the new year and please don't forget about all the people waiting in the queues for naturalisation and long term residency applications to be processed.
Sincerely yours,
GNIB registration number XXXXX [or] naturalisation case number 69/XXXX/200X.
