I am informed by the Irish Naturalisation and Immigration Service (INIS) of my Department that the number of persons that have been granted certificates of naturalisation in each of the past five years is as follows:
|
Year |
2013 |
2014 |
2015 |
2016 |
2017 |
|
Applications Granted (to nearest '00) |
24,300 |
21,100 |
13,600 |
10,100 |
8,200 |
The figures for 2013 and 2014 reflect the processing of significant number of applications that had built up prior to 2013.
