Improved citizenship timelines in 2022? Bad sign...

Post by baqa » Tue Apr 05, 2022 9:12 am

For those who don't otherwise follow the Oireachtas parliamentary questions, for many months the "standard response" from the Minister for Justice included the following statement:
Based on these measures, the Department's objective is to achieve an improved timeframe of 6-9 months for decisions on a majority of applications during 2022.
Unfortunately, the new "standard response" appears to have dropped that unceremoniously. One can always try to be optimistic, but I would venture to guess the reason is that they have no hope anymore of hitting that improved timeframe. If only there were any actual accountability - but it appears that is too much to ask for...

Currently naturalization website states 23 months as decision time for a straight forward application, that is the fact. Whoever tells what won't change the reality.

Well, I'm afraid it's clear she won't achieve the goals indeed.
She placed this as a benchmark and something to aim for I reckon, but it will take ages to get to it.

So, true!
There was supposed to be a clarification coming by end of march on the scorecard approach.
Seems that is delayed as well.

This is not really related with naturalisation, but at this point Ireland can barely manage and handle immigration registration. Which is the most basic thing an immigrant needs to do legally yet it takes months to get an appointment, print registration cards or answer emails.

State really love collecting all the fees for all the immigration services and can't offer a basic service in return.

True Indeed. We should count the taxes that the state is getting as well. This year, in the first three months alone, 4700 work permits were issued. Most of them are for multinational companies and you know how much they are paying in taxes. An ordinary employee is paying around 20 to 50 K in direct taxes per year but they had to wait indefinitely to get even the appointment in GNIB.
