Sent yellow form and postal order on 18 July received acknowledgement on 12 August.
Hopefully this does not mean that six weeks starts from 12 August and not 18 July.

I am afraid we will have to wait for another 4 weeks since acknowledge letter for the CON because of ministers holiday, ceremonies and luck of officers in CON section at the moment

I applied on July 6th, acknowledged by DOJ 5th August.
It took exactly 6 weeks to get the CON after sending the yellow form.
Does anyone know do I need to send original CON for passport ?

Just question guys regarding my passport application
as my brith certificate is in other language than English so I translated it with a certified translation.
my question is which birth certificate should I authenticate from my country's embassy, the translated version or the original one?
peace on you

I am in the same situation as you are.I have checked the DFA website-
http://dfa.ie/home/index.aspx?id=84782 and there is no information about you have to authenticate your Birth Certificate.As far as I see you have to sabmit original Birth Certificate and certified translation of one.
