thanks for info

The email I received doesn't say anything about having to attach a translation of the birth certificate, I guess they forgot.

We will only start to process your application when we receive the documents listed below. Please submit:

Cover page
Identity Verification Form
Applicant's full civil birth certificate
Copy of front and back of Public Services Card, or a copy of driving licence certified by a solicitor or An Garda Síochána, or original passport or National ID Card from another country. If resident outside the state, certified colour copies of ID are acceptable. A copy can be certified by a police officer, a solicitor, the witness who signs your Identity Verification Form, or by the issuing authority.
Proof of name (for example, original utility bills, bank statements, government correspondence)
Proof of address
Applicant's Original Naturalisation certificate
Applicant's passport from country of origin/previous nationality, if born outside the island of Ireland in addition to another form of photo ID from the list above.
If you do not have a passport from another country, two forms of photo ID from the above list must be presented.
(If you are resident in Ireland, one form of photo ID must be either a copy of front and back of Public Services Card, or a copy of driving licence certified by a solicitor or An Garda Síochána)

The answer is yes. Although I've been searching the new Ireiland.ie site and so far it doesn't actuallu mention it anywhere. I remember it being on the old website though. But yes- it needs certified translation
