Congratulations.
There is no other way around paying the 950 euros. everyone has to pay, even the spouses of irish nationals who apply after 3 years of marriage. So if you want to become irish, you have to pay.

Well, if you did not apply for CON, they'll never deal with your application and by the way, if you're a spouse of an Irish Citizen, you're qualify to apply for CON after 3 year reckonable, well, you can write the INIS, and i bet you each time you will be renewed temprarilly for that 8 years in the state, beside that i have never heard of 8 year temporary residency permit in any country in the world and then wrote at the bottom of the letter that, the letter itself must never be used for purposes than to register with garda immigration, so what's your use of applying for CON and residency from the way you wrote or asked for opinion, hope that will help you a bit, am not been funny or arrogant.

so basically i must apply for the passport once i will get the naturalization cert ?? i cant keep that as a proof of LEAVE THE REMAIN WITH NO TIME CONDITION ??
Do i still have to get visas on my original passport to stay in this country every time it expires or once i will get the cert i can consider my self LEAVE TO REMAIN ?? What about the garda card ?? will i still need that after my naturalization is approved and cert is given after the cermony ??

My Hounorable friend, since your CON is approved, apply for our EIRE passport, and you will no longer have anything to do with GNIB or leave to remain again, you will be entitled to freedom of movement, settlement and work in the entire European super state under article 20 (2) (a) TFEU and then repeated in article 21 of the achypelago , plus you can still keep your country of birth passport if dual-nationality is allowed, just to enter and out of your birth nation for exemptions of visas. Hope that help or clarify your answers.

once you are issued with the CON, GNIB wouldn't deal with you any more.
once you get your irish passport, you can apply for without condition stamp in your national passport free of charge.
