Ceist:

681. Deputy Brian Brennan asked the Minister for Justice, Home Affairs and Migration if he is aware that some applicants for naturalisation who received a letter in January 2025 with a statement that the Minister proposes to grant their application, and who have submitted the requested information, are still waiting for dates for their citizenship ceremony; the efforts being made to reduce the time for these dates to issue; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

Minister for Justice, Home Affairs and Migration

I can advise the Deputy that if a person received a grant decision in January, they should have received an invitation to attend a citizenship ceremony.

For any person where this particular scenario applies, they should check their spam folder in their emails, or they may also create a query via my Department's Customer Service Portal. They can register for an account or log in to their existing account at: portal.irishimmigration.ie/en/.

If the Deputy is aware of any particular instance where this has occurred, he can also raise the matter with my Department’s Immigration Oireachtas service at: IMoireachtasmail@justice.ie. The Deputy should supply the name, the application reference and the email address and my officials will investigate the matter.
