Can’t seem to find it online- do you know the details surrounding the case? How odd!

Not really, there was a case where a person was denied even after swearing the oath but before receiving the certificate (at that time you would get it later).

He brought it to court and lost.

so in theory didn't spend time more than 6 weeks outside of state.

If that's the case you should be ok, you can print specification of your full days outside the State during that year and add it to your application

Generally they send you a letter confirming receipt of documents.

I had to send additional documents too and never received any confirmation letter. Few months later I got the second stage letter.

So I would say not to worry too much about this.

Nobody will ask 8000 people for witnessed signed affidavits or go through the databases for every individual travel history, especially when "illegal trip to Belfast" cannot be tracked in any way. They only need to amend the law by the date of the ceremony. The approvals can still be sent out, becau...

I'm hoping they will change the Act in a single sitting in September, so no need for any more amusing interpretations from the bench.

The Court of Appeal has set the hearing date for October.

Seems virtually all lawyers so far do not agree with the ruling. D. Kenny, TCD Law As well as having serious policy implications, this is just bad statutory interpretation.

I hate the fact that the judgment was handed down at this time, as both the courts and Oireachtas have just started summer break. So perhaps there will be no remedy until September at the very least... could impact whether there will be September ceremony at all

I don't know about 20%, but if that's correct the number of ceremony slots looks ok. Yes it's around 20%, there is a PQ with exact numbers, but can't find it now. However this should confirm it as well. "Indeed since 2011, over 120,000 people, including just over 27,000 children have been naturalis...

Yes it doesn't look that good, but on the bright side I believe in their stats adults and minors applications are counted together, but ceremonies are only attended by adults. I think around 20% of applications would be minors.

2018: 8,203 undecided applications vs 12,724 total applications 2019: 2,556 undecided applications Although you received their response in May, is it possible their data is few months old? If there were 12,700 applications in 2018, that would mean around 1000 per month, so 2500 pending from 2019 wo...
