Stamp 4 and Form 8 question

[water_tank1]

Hi Guys.

I have a question regarding Form EU3 (Permanent Residence) and Form 8 (for Naturalization).

My wife is a non-EU citizen on Stamp 4 EUFAM.
I became an Irish citizen through FBR and I have an Irish passport now as well as the UK.

Now my question is once we have resided in Ireland for three years and married for three years would I be eligible to apply directly for naturalization using form 8 due to me being an Irish citizen or will i have to apply for permanent residence first or can i directly apply for naturalization once the three years have passed.

Many thanks

She can apply for naturalisation straight away after 3 years is up.

Dupalsky, so then does Stamp 4EUFAM count the same as standard Stamp 4 for reckonable residence in situations like this where you are applying for naturalization based on marriage to an Irish citizen? I may be in this position myself in 3 years even though my husband will be on stamp 4EUFAM until then.
