It wasn’t me who replied first. No need to be personal on this forum
Moderators please lock this topic as this is going off topic and personal

It’s around 90 minutes

That wasn’t rude. It’s the forum’s rules. Your question is not about ceremony. It is about processing teams. So you will need to start a new topic.

It says on inis website that an alternative ceremony will be organised on or before 17th April. This is for the candidates who cannot travel due to virus. Hopefully some more people will be accommodated in that ceremony

They close the lines sometimes close to the ceremony

I really doubt it was ever recorded. How can a copper justify stopping someone without valid licence and letting them go scotfree.
You can disclose without giving any info that you were stopped by police but no further action taken

U.K. and Ireland allow multi citizenships. You will need to check about Australian citizenship rules to check if they allow multi citizenship as well.

Ireland allows dual nationality. It will not affect your application.

Makes sense. If inis allows, you can purchase postal order from any post office in republic with cash

You need to have a bank account in republic to get a draft. You cannot walk-in with cash and take draft.
Check earlier posts, someone posted info on which banks do euro draft in north.

The letter sent in October clearly stated in case of no deal Brexit. Since no deal Brexit doesn’t seem possible now, same status will apply for transition period till Dec 2020. What happens after that depends on the agreements between U.K. and eu

No guesswork can prove it statistically. It will be based on when department wants and when it is logistically possible. Could be anytime between March and May.
Can you share your friends timeline

Send them an email requesting extension. They normally give few months extension.

You need to show dependency and for exercising Eu treaty rights, you need to be employed in Ireland or studying or living with sufficient funds along with medical insurance. Now sending money from U.K. account is not very clever since you want to show Ireland as centre of your life. Time is running ...

You cannot get a visa from Irish embassy in uk if you living there illegally now. Even if you are dependent on your uncle you can’t just travel with him to Ireland. Eu treaty rights won’t apply here as your uncle is Irish. If somehow you still enter Ireland through NI, you will be committing immigra...

I think they contact the referees Extremely rarely. I applied in 2018 and attended the ceremony in Waterford earlier this year. My referees weren’t contacted .

There was live spam_do_not_click_here of ceremony on inis website. I don’t know if the video is still available just check their website

I did sent it by registered post - It was signed and received on Oct 9th at TIPPERARY D.S.U. CO TIPPERARY and there is a person's name who signed and collected the post. But that's unfortunately the post box they use to receive applications so I'm afraid my post could have ended up somewhere at the ...

Even with aer lingus they check the Irp card at boarding gate for non Eu.

Generally they send you a letter confirming receipt of documents. Did you not sent it by registered post. You can trace the delivery that way

Don’t worry just explain them and provide as many docs available as possible To make your application look strong.

I don’t think it will effect as long as you disclose everything on the form but citizenship process is not very transparent and it is difficult to say what may or may not affect your application

Do you have no other Irish colleague or friend who is still resident in Ireland. Although they do not contact the referees, but I remember someone posting on this forum that their referee was contacted. Tbh that is the only person I heard telling that the refree was contacted. But if I were you, I w...
