My application time line is as follows:

Application : June 2012 (5 years residency stamp1 and stamp4)
1st Acknowledgment: July 2012
2nd Acknowledgment: TBC
Letter of approval: TBC
Documents submitted: TBC
Invitation letter : TBC
Ceremony: TBC

In July 2012 the acknowledgement letter indicated that I passed the 1st stage of processing and moved to the 2nd stage.

In February 2013 I emailed Citizenship Info (citizenshipinfo@justice.ie) for a status update and received the following response;

Your 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.

Here is my timeline:

Got 1st confirmation letter on the 31 Dec 2011
Got 2nd confirmation letter in mid-June 2012
Emailed the Ministry in mid-Feb - I was told I`d be advised of the Minister's decision as expeditiously as possible
1 Mar 2013 - got my approval letter (no ceremony date confirmed)

Super delighted that the wait is over!
Good luck everyone!

Hi guys

Sent an application based on 5 years residency on March 2012.
I got letter today. I wasn't expecting at all. I'm so HAPPY!

I already sent money, 2 nice pics and GNBI card.
I went to INS at the quays and I was told just take it easy now. Next Party will be held in two to 3 months...can't wait to be there.
Married to EU national
Here since 2005, always worked, never on social.
My visa ends on April 2013 and I was told don't worry because the letter covers everything. But don't travel because too much to explain to immigration officers when back to Ireland

Today the world is a better world, at least to me.
Congratulation to all !!!!!
