Springboard course - no harm either way. I had a lot of part-time courses and certifications, but that is my own hobby and I think the minister wouldn't mind if what I want to do after work.

Fine on Luas - that is definitely an offence of the Bye-Law and you are obliged to disclose that. Disclose that and the receipt of payment and say how you felt sorry about that.

Thank you for your quick answer!

Regarding the springboard the course, as it is free, so it seems to be a part of social benefits I received, that's why I am asking.

Argh alright if it is a social benefit, you should include it. If you are not sure, include it anyway. There are many people who receive benefit payments but still got an approval, many in under 6 months. I just personally wouldn't want to take any chance that they are using the excuse of "you did not disclose xxxx" to reject the application. It seems that this excuse has become a standard rejection reason these days.

A tricky thing here, I contacted the LUAS for the fine invoice, they can't even find the record of my fine after providing them my appeal number, name and address. I wonder it would have been a problem if I couldn't attach fine invoice after the disclosure of this fine fact....

I have a traffic fine notice from the Netherlands, but I never received the notice and they said there's no money owed under my driver number, so they can't issue a letter to me.

However, they do have my driver number in their file, which means that there is an offence.

I just sent INIS a letter explaining that I may have a traffic offence in Netherlands but I have confirmed with them that no money is owed by me. Maybe they decided not to pursue for my offence because it is very minor; maybe they are just not bothered - I just don't know.

Dear Team,

Firstly thank you for the senior members for their advices and posts, it has been very beneficial to me and I believe to many others.

I have two things here I am wondering should I disclose on the naturalization form? :

1, I used to take springboard night courses, but I gave up in the middle as I was doing rotating shift, so I couldn't manage attending most of the courses.

2, Got one Luas fine, ticket was lost, fine paid, there was a letter issued to my previous address.

What do you think, should I tell them?

Thank you.

Regards,

There are no issues with the Springboard courses, you can either add it or not. It won't harm your application if you mention it.

I wouldn't mention the Luas ticket issue because as a private company Luas do not disclose those type of issues to the government unless they are trying to bring you to court which obviously is not the case here.
