Re: Citizenship applications from 2017 pending approval

I am planning to give the documents of 146 pages to my Lawyer to study and...

Re: Citizenship applications from 2017 pending approval

I sympathize to those waiting. I myself applied in July 2017 and received my approval at the end of June. Then this delay happened. If not this ceremony I assume you will be amongst the next one I to was surprised when I seen 2018 and 2019 applicants getting approved. Thank you very much for the in...

Re: Citizenship applications from 2017 pending approval

Now that the ruling has been overturned by COA, let's see how soon another date for the ceremony will be. Hopefully Jan, Feb. or March next year.

Re: Court rules "continuous residence" means you CANNOT LEAVE IRELAND AT ALL for year before application

I kept emphasising that the deciding people's fate based on Dictionaries is “unworkable”, “overly literal”, “unduly rigid” and gives rise to an “absurdity” and now finally the court has also realised that. But still, there is no proper guideline regarding the 6 weeks absence rule, whether the minis...

Re: Court rules "continuous residence" means you CANNOT LEAVE IRELAND AT ALL for year before application

The Minister and the Appeal Court deserve credit for expediting this, as do the appeal judges for unanimously overturning the “unworkable”, “overly literal” and “unduly rigid” High Court ruling on the definition of continuous residence. It was unfortunate that that High Court ruling came just befor...

Re: Court rules "continuous residence" means you CANNOT LEAVE IRELAND AT ALL for year before application

I am really happy with this development. At least the issue of unbroken presence or residence has been overturned by COA. The Minister continues to enjoy the discretion for up to 6 weeks or more in exceptional cases. Now they have to the needful and set us all free. This is absolutely good news for ...

I applied in April 2017 (5 years work permit), received the 2nd stage letter in April 2018 ... and have heard nothing from the citizenship office since then. I've contacted two TDs in July 2019, and received the same generic answer. It is somewhat frustrating when you have been waiting for over 25 ...

Re: Court rules "continuous residence" means you CANNOT LEAVE IRELAND AT ALL for year before application

My question is what about those of us who are not affected by the one year continuous or unbroken stay in Ireland? I mean the last one year before I made my application, I didn't travel out of the country for almost 2 years before submitting my application in Dec 2017. Does this mean I wont get appr...

Re: Citizenship applications from 2017 pending approval

Although they send approvals all year through but bulk of the approvals are sent 4-6 weeks prior to ceremony. That will take us to mid August. I don’t know if the court ruling on continuous residence will delay the proceedings because minister cannot overrode the judgement and will have to sort out...

I felt bad when I read the article yesterday. I believe it will be contested in Supreme Court as stated in the article.
