Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 25 July 2023
847. Deputy Robert Troy asked the Minister for Justice if a citizenship certificate will be issued without delay and sent to an applicant (details supplied) whose citizenship was granted at a ceremony in Killarney on 19 June 2023. [36365/23]
View answerI am advised by the Citizenship Division of my Department that a Certificate of naturalisation for the person referred to by the Deputy is currently being printed and will issue by registered post shortly.
At present Certificates of Naturalisation are being posted to successful applicants after they attend a Ceremony and perform their Oath of Allegiance rather than presenting them on the day of the ceremony.
My Department trialled this new format at the recent March Citizenship Ceremonies in the RDS. This had the aim to test the best means of increasing the number of ceremonies annually in order to naturalise more applicants more frequently.
