Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 25 July 2023
25. Deputy Frankie Feighan asked the Tánaiste and Minister for Foreign Affairs the reason for the prolonged delays for decisions regarding foreign birth registrations within his Department; and the reason one such case (details supplied) demands certain documents that appear irrelevant. [35815/23]
View answerForeign Birth Registration, by its nature, is a detailed and complex process, often involving official documentation relating to three generations and issued by several jurisdictions. Such documents take considerable time to validate.
With regard to the specific Foreign Birth Registration applications about which the Deputy has enquired, these applications have been approved and FBR certificates will issue to the applicants shortly.
