First 2026 Citizenship Ceremonies Announced

It's another Killarney one, breaking the pattern of alternating between Dublin and Kerry

14th-15th April 2026 at the INEC

At the time of writing, I'm not aware of any invitations going out, so please post here if you get yours (including how it was sent: post/email).

My status changed to Referred for Decision same time when they announced the ceremony. Not sure if it was just a coincidence or I will be included in the ceremony if I get approval.

Bravo, Peace! I'm June 2022 paper applicant...and still waiting, waiting, waiting.
It wasn't until 5 months later in Feb of 2023 that I was advised they had received my application.
So 36 months ago now since they acknowledged receipt of my application that I submitted 41 months ago!

BUT, my online file changed dates in November 2025, yet still says "application in progress". At least I know that SOMEBODY did SOMETHING in my file 4 months ago on November 17th!
BEST WISHES for YOU!

Thank you!
I hope you get some updates soon 🙏

Did you get a second E-Vetting request on 10 November?
I got it and disclosure viewed on 3 December.

No I did not receive another e-vetting invitation, but in October I proactively sent them a current police report!
I know as I've been waiting, they want an updated one every year, so I beat them to it!
Best wishes, Joe :)
