Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 3 March 2026
670. Deputy Colm Burke asked the Minister for Justice, Home Affairs and Migration to confirm when a citizenship application will be completed, in view that the application (details supplied) was first lodged in 2022; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [16874/26]
Amharc ar fhreagraThe naturalisation application referred to by the Deputy has been approved and is listed as awaiting an invitation to attend a Citizenship Ceremony.
I am pleased to say that the next Citizenship Ceremonies will take place on 14 & 15 April at the INEC Killarney.
The Citizenship Division have confirmed that the applicant will be invited to attend a ceremony on either the 14 or 15 April. The invitation will be issued at the earliest opportunity.
All invitees attending a Citizenship Ceremony should ensure that they have an up to date IRP Card that provides details of their permission to remain in the State on the date of the ceremony.
Information on Citizenship Ceremonies is available on my Department’s website here: [www.irishimmigration.ie/how-to-become-a-citizen/citizenship-ceremonies/]
Applicants can now directly check the status of their immigration application on the Immigration Service’s Customer Service Portal. They can register for, or log in to their existing account, at: [portal.irishimmigration.ie/en/]
As an Oireachtas member, you can also request the status of individual immigration cases by e-mail, using the Oireachtas Mail facility at: IMoireachtasmail@justice.ie, which has been specifically established for this purpose. This service enables up to date information on such cases to be obtained without the need to seek information by way of the Parliamentary Question process.
