Citizenship ceremonies restarted in December 2019 after they were put on hold for five months when High Court judge Mr Justice Max Barrett ruled that any person applying for Irish citizenship could not spend a day outsideMr Justice Barrett ruled in July 2019 that the Minister for Justice’s discretionary practice of allowing applicants six weeks out of the country, for holiday or other reasons, and more time in exceptional circumstances, was not permitted by law.
In November 2019 a Court of Appeal overturned the ruling that applicants for Irish citizenship needed unbroken residence for an entire year in Ireland before applying to become citizens.The Government had previously said it aimed to deal with the backlog by the end of February. Participants in next week’s event will include 982 people from the UK, 715 from Poland, 496 from Romania, 370 from India, 201 from Nigeria, 171 from Brazil, 138 from
Lunacy. The indigenous birth rate is dropping like a stone and we import 20,000 citizens every year.
IN THE NAME OF HONG/HUNG Yellow-White Masonic overlords bring their mixed race mongol kin into the land of impoverished Whites, for displacement and to disrupt the hated pure-White DNA gene pool that they deny exists.
We need more of this kind of thing! Truly wonderful and welcome to you all and a happy future to you in your new home. Ignore the naysayers. 👍😉👍😉👍😉👍😉
My grandad was the youngest of 17 all born in Ireland - except him 😭 I’m stuck with a UK passport. Help me!
Welcome to the family. As dysfunctional as it is, we’re in it together. You make us richer.
And yet we are sending children born here back to the cou tries their parents fled from. Great joy for the new citizens. Awful consequences for those we reject. CharlieFlanagan what are we at?
My father for years said to me your Irish, so before my son was born 4 years ago I strolled into see the old fella and showing him my Irish passport and saying 'Guess you we right all along' My son Lorcan is about to do the same and make his grandfather proud.
Irish Diaspora estimated at 60 million citizens of other countries, many of whom repatriated earnings here. We are a poor country if we cannot welcome new citizens.
What could go wrong?
Irish soon to be a minority - sponsored by our government
citizens !!!
They should do this for all those people in direct provision too and close down those hell holes. Everybody deserves dignity
The ancient Irish laws of hospitality dictate that we welcome all comers. I suppose if you don't adhere to these laws you have to question your citizenship?
White genocide is their goal, folks.
KevinJo36808226 Me Celtic Heritage Ancestors are roiling in day grave....
I welcome all equally...but demand that I as an adopted citizen am also equal in Ireland of 2020, where I am actively prevented my own birth cert, identity, info & my basic, equal, civil & human rights as an Irish person & as an EU citizen, because of my birth status!? How & why?
Congrats to them all. Céad Míle Fáilte 😁
At a grand a go... Easy money...
Wonderful to have different cultures enriching our country - welcome all !!
as long as all obey our laws and customs that’s ok but they can’t come in here and demand theirs to be imposed here
FlyingFijian 🇮🇪
This is the way forward for them foreign born criminals ... who managed to con Flanagan, et al, to give them Irish citizenship!!
Couldn’t be happier for them 😊 Allowing people who’ve chosen to make their lives here participate as full citizens can only make the country better
They should all have to read the proclamation and swear on owth to uphold it before getting their passports! Why not?
IrexitFreedom Most aren't and never will be Irish

Seriously so many people here showing there racist sides, and think that these people are just being handed a citizenship. It is an extremely lengthy process and extremely hard on the people applying. It is not easy at all. I for one think the number is too low.
OTTRL25 🎉
Congratulations to the genuine people amongst them, of course there is always a few bad apples that will get through the process (Obtain citizenship primarily to collect another passport and then relocate, happens a lot) but no system is perfect I suppose
LittleLuxbyLyns you next ;)
All probably have never set foot in Ireland yet we in this Statelet have no Irish vote in elections of president and Dail ,On Twitter the Free State FF and FG call us British,
Passport don't make anyone Irish they are foreign nationals Irish passports not Irish people.
AuthorMonika Always welcome ( Failte)
In most of the 135 countries, an Irish person could never, under any circumstances, become a citizen. As a Nigerian friend said to me recently, our citizenship laws are a complete joke. Most countries have some respect for their passport. We have none.
Wonderful! Diversity only adds to the strength of a country and to any society! We are lucky!! 👍🏻💕👍🏻
Fantastic. Great benefit to our island
Political_Irish Traitor CharlieFlanagan & davidstantontd selling kith, kin and country for globalist coin and false virtue! A few decades ago he would have gotten the gallows for destroying Irish diversity like this!
'About 132,000 people from 180 countries have become Irish citizens since the ceremonies were first introduced in 2011.' But hey, 10k HOMELESS, Housing Crisis, and 200+ BILLION in debt. The great give away is so shameful and DUMB.
A piece of paper means nothing. Blood is all.
Shameful, truly a national disgrace. We know how it ends up.
What kind of a thing is that with what looks like a bald head. He couldn't be of this world.
My Son Liam will be amongst them! Two done three to go :-)
The reality of the great replacement and plantation of Ireland.
Disgusting as it is DUMB. Citizenship debased, devalued and ultimately destroyed. This is an insane policy and practice. How many know that some people are given Irish citizenship after 3 years in Ireland, let that sink in. It should take decades to be naturalized if at all.
IrexitFreedom At a time when rents are sky high mortgage are unaffordable people are dying on trollies
Patriots out in force today 🤪🤪🤪
Regardless of any person born in ireland able to gain a passport to prove citizenship, if they have no parent(s) that are not Ethnically Irish or have no connection to Irish ethnicity, when their parent(s) are from a foreign land, how can that person born in Ireland be Irish.
Irish people want a safe Homogenous society that we can trully enjoy our Irish Identity culture heritage traditions religion without pandering to foreigners.We spent 800yrs fighting the british, now our own Gov is giving our country away to immigrants from the 3rd world.
Ring leaders of this facilitated by CharlieFlanagan davidstantontd simoncoveney ordered by PDSutherlandUN planned by the UN through the EU Displacing the Irish, Abort Irish babies & Import the 3rd world, eradicating Irish Identity Culture Traditions.
The Irish people only have themselves to blame for voting for the same Gov. party's FineGael fiannafailparty sinnfeinireland fake opposition, under a Nationalist Gov. NationalPartyIE this would have never happened & all mosques closed & immigrants that attend these Deported.
Wow, 5,000? Talk about ratcheting things up. It was always in the region of 2,500 or thereabouts. Now we get a double whammy of fraudsters.
Are we running out of Irish people that we need to import citizens?
Congratulations to all of them👏🏾
FFS! Poor Ireland 🇮🇪 they will regret this..☘️☘️☘️☘️☘️☘️🇮🇪🇮🇪🇮🇪🇮🇪🇮🇪💕💕💕
gembots ENGAGE!
The way some of you comment as if nothing bad could ever go wrong! Africans were once mighty with gold running everywhere but that didn’t last long! And now we are subject to ridicule by the same europeans that tore us down 😔
I imagine if the mighty Europe went astray and couldn’t provide the luxury lifestyle and economy it currently has for its citizens and everyone had to go outside of eu to get help.... I wonder would everyone bracist the refer to stay in their own country or what?
Fair play to them. A bit of diversity adds to the place. 👍 👍
So delightful for them. We are looking forward to the more skilful labour force for Ireland.
Cool!
Is there any end to this .. Where are all those new citizens coming from
Fair play to them for going down the legal path and doing things correctly
I wonder if they'll be called Brits if any of them decide to move to the North
In 50 years the Irish will become a minority in their own country.
And they are all VERY welcome.
Irelands future been reshaped by a corrupt unelected & undemocratic socialist agenda in Brussels. Greatest attack on society's everywhere was put together by Nazism & the globalists elites. Displacing Nations IS chaos & mayhem in the making. Elites don't vaccinate their children!
How is this a good thing ?
darraghdoyle DaveSihra !
IrexitFreedom Aaaaaaaaaaand can we focus on the HOMELESS IRISH PEOPLE on our streets!!!!?Govment and complicit media are the EnemyOfThePeople
Ireland is becoming a Third World sh** hole. So many Irish degenerates and traitors who welcome this. Sick Bas*****. May the real Irish rise up and dole out the ultimate punishment for these traitors. Not only must the invaders be expelled but the traitors must be dealt with.
Glenn2487 Unable to support who they have in the country.
Do you understand what this means?
That's wonderful 🎉🎉🎉
'Look at me. I'm Irish now.' You are fools and cowards to allow this invasion and WhiteGenocide. Your ancestors are ashamed.
This is just ridiculous..! Citizenship giveaway by FineGael & EU..! No other nation gives away their citizenship so easily.!
Will they have a big ceremony where they will all be together in one venue covid19?
IrishLitTimes Fáilte.
We owe UK . American. Al the rest we owe nothing
It must be a coincidence that many of the xenophobes 'amongst us' are anonymous, and/or have weird surnames with lots of digits instead of letters. Surely? Long gone are the days of customs checks at the Dublin-Meath border such as this one here, taken by John Hinde.
Is there still time for me!
A day after they tell us homelessness has risen
This is a great post for flushing out racists to block.
Horrid. Anyone cannot just become Irish.
Goodbye Ireland.
Stop now before it’s too late!
New voters for fine Gael
Is there a criteria they must meet in order to become a citezen?
I hate it that Irish people are so racist nowadays I’m Irish I want more ppl to be Irish keep our country diverse
Welcome. Fáilte.
O aren’t we great giving out passports like smarties... absolutely embarrassing...
Could we not send that B....x standing next to that lady in the opposite direction 😬
fáilte a chur roimh fhir agus ar mhná na hÉireann
Ffs ..what is all this about.. Half of them 'working' the back door into the UK .. Why not stamp their OWN passports with 'permanent leave to stay' ..retaining the right to remove them in a crime situation
Mosques required and Halal meat
Welcome👏
most pro invasion support this government policy but claim to hate FF FG, such forked toungue rats should be removed in the coming civil war
planters given permission by the treasonous government to occupy the country usually followed up with the forced removal of government by the natives and execution of traitors and removal of invaders as what happened in the old plantations
This is what self hate does to a country
irishpatriot201 Ireland self destructing by the day
GTCost Yabba Dabba. 5000 new homes to be built...to accomodate all, on top of the 25000 'promised'........Oh.... it's not true.. what they said n the election campaign..in their manifesto... Oh... oh
I loved my day becoming an Irish Citizen in 2012 and I saw my daughter on the scan for the first time the same day and called her Erin. Best wishes to all the new citizens x
Don't have chinese application?
samtranum Did you get your letter? I remember you submitted a couple of months after me.
Welcome to the party, lads.
Congratulations to all of them :)
Brilliant, they're more than welcome
Why?
Jesus there's some awful wasters on this thread 😂 kids of the new citizens probably have more Gaeilge than all these clowns put together
Congratulations 👏
What does it even mean to be Irish anymore...
This is wonderful. Ireland through the centuries relied heavily on the “goodness” of other countries for so many different reasons . It’s great that people from other countries can now call Ireland “home”. ireland (hope they like and participate in sport)
How can people not see how wrong this is? This is the commodification of Ireland. The pimping out of the country to all and sundry. It would also be wrong if done in Nigeria, Pakistan, Brazil, Poland and China. Nothing against these people but c'mon this is just a giant racket.
It's okay to oppose this
gemmaod1 is gonna be PISSED!
Can one go Nigeria and claim citizenship within 1 year or 5 🤔 Naw its actually 15 f_ing years CharlieFlanagan btw no one voted you back in, not a sinn-f advocate either, but you're a true traitor to Ireland and its people.
Wonderful! I made that jump few years back and never regretted it. Great country and culture to call home!
Charlie flanaghan
Irish in paper only
Nice one. Also congrats to all the Irish who have recently become citizens in other countries. Like a family member of mine in Australia.
HIGH TREASON
orwell4ever At a cost of €1,300 each that is some Revenue for RipOffIreland and its indolent Civil Servants? In France by contrast citizenship fees are €55. CharlieFlanagan LeoVaradkar CWeston_Indo EoinBearla
Sinn Fein will sort it and give everyone a house
Delighted for them.
Yes! This will definitely help reduce carbon emissions and solve the housing and hospital beds crisis.

5000 f'me have they all bought houses ? F'ing E U , borris is flying them back ,,, 5'000
Desperation why don’t Ireland’s look after its own people rather than importing more
Well done youse
I know one of them. She is already a huge asset to the place. Welcome Fáilte
👍
Honoured to know one of these people. An amazing woman who does remarkable work educating our young people
No consent from me. Paper Irish invaders can fk rite off.
Here we go... queue all the racists foaming at the mount dying to grab their keyboard and get typin’ 🙄
Comhghairdeas!
Splendid.
Countries in Eastern Europe have said no to this madness. This is an insane choice that the Irish people have freely made.
Paper Irish. These confetti ceremonies don’t magically turn people irish.
What happens at these ceremonies, are any pledges made to obide by our laws and traditions? Or can new Irish do what they like? People like zappone worked to destroy our society and racists like _repealist took it upon herself to harass old ladies. We don’t want people like them
Wrong wrong wrong
Won't somebody think of the pension funds? FineGael
Ireland is now a sanctuary state for immigrants. New York far left parties and the like would be proud
I never realised there were so many racists among my fellow countrymen. What’s wrong with these people?
One for everyone in the audience
they may have become Irish citizens but they'll never become Irish people. NEVER. A piece of paper won't magically change their DNA
Not that i am against immigration but at no stage during the election was this issue used as a defence or an excuse for pressure on housing and health service capacity. Fine gael allowed sinn fein go beat them up.about this without pointing out that sinn fein are pro immigration.
Disgusting.
And there goes your history & your heritage. Churches to be replaced with Mosques, Gaelic to be replaced by Ghanaian . Farewell Ireland. Hello Islam
And I bet not one of those 5000 are homeless
They're only here for all they can grab.
I am saddened to be living through such times when treason is held in esteem, and the laughter of fools who think they are wise echo everywhere. It is clear to me anyway, the end game of this is the destruction of the Gael as a unique ethnicity.
This is terrible. We should be making Irish people citizens before we make anyone else a citizen. Nobody asked me if I wanted to be made a citizen. I can prove my irishness with my passport so why wasn't I asked? Discrimination.
