Citizenship Applications
Dail Éireann — 2021-10-21
============================================================

Peter Fitzpatrick (IND), Louth

How many applicants for citizenship are currently waiting more than 12 months for a decision on their application? How many are currently waiting more than 24 months? My constituency office is overflowing with queries from such applicants. Applications are currently taking at least 23 months to be processed and there are more than 22,000 applicants awaiting a decision.
