‹ Ceisteanna—Questions Oral Answers. - Irish Citizenship Applications. Irish citizenship applications and grants
Summary
The Minister reported 300 naturalisation grants but said the number of applicants was not recorded and could not be compiled.
asked the Minister for Justice the number of persons who have applied for Irish citizenship in the past year; and the number who were granted citizenship.
Comment on this
The number of persons who were granted certificates of naturalisation in the past year was 300.
Statistics are not maintained in such a way as would enable me to indicate the number of persons who applied for citizenship, and the examination of records that would be required to compile the information would involve a commitment of staff resources which could not be justified in present circumstances.
