To all members who contribute to this topic/thread, the following are the guidelines to adhere to in this thread, bringing the Ireland sub forum in line with other timeline topics being updated so that we do not end up with a timeline thread that runs into so many pages like many others and which has become a discussion thread, rather than an easily readable timeline thread, defeating the purpose of a TIMELINE thread:

1. This topic is for timelines and timeline updates for 2018 applications ONLY.

2. ANY discussions, chit chat, question such as 'Any news for applications in XYZ Month / 6 months, no reply / any updates username / ministry of justice blah blah ...' ect, will be deleted and the user issued with a warning.

3. Most members who contribute to this thread will already have other recent queries or threads on the forum, i.e. 'Stamp 4 / EU1 - Help Please' etc. If you need to ask a member something specific about their application, click on their name, search for their most recent NON timeline post and ask the question there. You are of course free to use the PM function for this too if you choose and if you have access to PM. Abuse of the PM function by any members will result in PM function being disabled for the members.

4. There will be zero tolerance of any abuse of the timeline thread.

5. No posting of personal contact details, please see Forum Terms & Conditions (click), particularly point 5.

6. The Format for posting your timeline is in the post below.
