1187. Deputy Michael McNamara asked the Minister for Justice if she will waive the citizenship application fee in respect of a person (details supplied). [38492/23]
Amharc ar fhreagraAs the Deputy will be aware, it is open to any individual to make an application for Irish citizenship if they believe they meet the criteria as set out in the Irish Nationality and Citizenship Act, 1956, as amended.
When an application is received in my Department it is examined and a determination made about whether an applicant satisfies the statutory criteria for naturalisation.
There is no current provision in the Irish National and Citizenship Regulations to waive fees.
