The Deputy will be aware that the citizenship ceremony scheduled for Monday 16 October 2017 was postponed on public safety grounds due to the national status red weather alert, issued due to ex-hurricane Ophelia. The ceremony was rescheduled for Monday 27 November 2017, however the person referred to by the Deputy informed the Irish Naturalisation and Immigration Service (INIS) of my Department that she was unable to attend.
The person concerned will be invited to the next available citizenship ceremony. While the dates are not yet set for future ceremonies, it is envisaged that the first ceremony of 2018 will be in April. As soon as arrangements are in place details will be posted on our website at www.inis.gov.ie.
