This is the Act:

Nothing in it from what you are quoting.

Bad news folks! Looks like it won't apply to us as applicants for "naturalised" citizenship. Principal provisions of the Bill This section of the Bill Digest sets out some of the main provisions of the Bill. It does not provide a full examination of the Bill’s provisions. Certificates of nationality...

Have you contacted your TD or the media?

They are fudging the numbers by rushing through 2023 applicants! Someone needs to get their TD to ask what percentage of applicants from 2021, 2022 and 2023 have been processed! Utterly outrageous!! More 2023 applicants have been approved as of yesterday (according to recent 2023 application timelin...

Hahaha! Chill dude. 2021 and 2022 applicants were waiting at least six months for even an Acknowledgment Letter. ISD is trying to fudge the figures to make them look better by processing out of chronological order. Massive scam!

Does anyone know when the next ceremonies in 2023 will be?

You can open a bank account, credit card application, even get a replacement driver's licence all online in a matter of days to weeks without any manual checking. Ireland has First World taxes, with Third World services. The fact that banks are only open 10-16:00 Monday to Friday sums it up. Don't g...

Complain to your local TD. Show them how the 2023 applications are being processed in a few short months, whilst 2021 and 2022 applicants in many cases haven't even reached e-vetting stage. Utter disgrace!!!

Any place with a half competent public service would have a simple system to make it automatic that once the "registration" email is replied to/filled in, the NVB email would automatically just send out. Unfortunately Ireland and the ISD are just a hotbed of incompetence, obfuscation, outright lies,...

It's an absolute scandal and disgraceful! The Minister should he held to account for this! 2023 applicants already approved and straightforward 2021 and 2022 applicants still left waiting. The Minister has repeatedly lied about the chronological nature of the processing of applications. It simply is...

They focus on small and big issues - that is called representative democracy. You can Google Dáil questions and there have been lots of questions in the last few months relating to it - delays, e-vetting, etc. So clearly they do ask questions. Social media is fine, but the only thing that will reall...

Social media is fine, but the only thing that will really change things is, if people put political pressure and söme form lf accountability. Wouldn't be surprised if they are fast tracking 2023 applications to quickly bring down the median waiting time, or so the Dept and/or Minister can sneakily s...

You need to contact your TD and other opposition party TD's. Get them to raise this in Parliament! Also contact media outlets. It is simply outrageous that they completely talk to the 2021 and 2022 applicants. I think they are trying to "cook the books" to make their numbers look better!

This is an absolute disgrace! 2023 applications are being approved ahead of those from 2021 and 2022! This clearly delays the processing of 2021 and 2022 applications. People need to write to their local TD's and the Minister for Justice (Simon Harris TD). Also people need to contact the media - The...

It is simply a massive scandal! They are approving 2023 applicants, whilst 2021 and 2022 applicants suffer! This clearly slows down processing for 2021 and 2022 applications. People need to raise this with their TD's, The Minister and the media! Outrageous! Something very fishy going on! https://www...

INIS or IDS are out of control. They are processing Jan and Feb and March 2023 to e-vetting! Something fishy going on! You should contact your local TD and get them to ask the Minister directly what the hell is going on. We pay outrageous First World taxes in this country and get Third World public ...

After how long from applying did you lodge FOI? Did they not give you copies of the documents created in relation to your application? Me and my spouse both applied to FOI and got response: Your application for naturalisation continues to be processed in the normal way with a view to establishing wh...

Same here. Check out the 2023 timelines. People applying in 2023 are getting approved. Outrageous! Need to bring this to the attention of your TD! IDS is up to something shady!

Last stage unless ISD is doing something shifty and doing it after days to weeks for 2023 applications! Thank you for the quick reply, by final approval letter you mean the citizenship approval letter ? where you have to pay £950 ? apologies if my questions sound very basic. i have zero knowledge ab...

Just out of interest. Are you EU/Non-EU 5 Years?

Hi, I haven't had the need yet. But I know people who have. Waiting since 2021 is simply unacceptable, particularly when the 2023 applications are already getting e-vetting. Bring this to the attention of your local TD, or even better ones who are from the opposition/alternative parties to that of t...

Have you written to the Department? Request FOI. Write to your local TD. The 2023 applications are getting e-vetting in a matter of days to weeks! Outrageous! 2021 still waiting. Something fishy or even scandalous going on! You need to bring this to the attention of people who can hold them accounta...

Submit a FOI request.
Contact your local TD.

2023 applications are getting their e-vetting in a matter of days to weeks. Outrageous. Something fishy going on!

The Minister keeps saying they have spent all this money and made all these improvements in INIS, yet the processing time hasn't changed at all in the last three years based on the Minister's own figures. Wouldn't surprise me at all if INIS is trying something sneaky. Maybe they have to report back ...

They are sending out Acknowledgment letters and doing e-vetting in the space of a couple of weeks for 2023 applicants. Outrageous. Makes a mockery of the Minister saying "applications are processed in chronological order". I would contact your TD and get them to ask the Minister in the Dáil WTF is g...
