Redefining the Irish - 5,000 foreigners granted Irish citizenship in Killarney (03March20)

The process of handing Ireland away continues with yet more citizenship ceremonies in Killarney. 5,000 foreign nationals were granted Irish citizenship today and yesterday. The new citizens come from 135 separate countries. Here’s the totals for the top 10 countries:

United Kingdom – 982
Poland – 715
Romania – 496
India – 370
Nigeria – 201
Brazil – 171
Latvia – 138
Philippines 137
China – 113
USA – 113

It was mentioned in the news report that 132,000 people from 180 countries have become new citizens since 2011.

The ceremonies are being held following a Court of Appeal decision last November, which clarified the law in relation to residency requirements for citizenship candidates (Residency law became more lax). An earlier High Court decision had led to the postponement of ceremonies for the latter half of 2019.

To become a citizen of Ireland, a foreign national must have 5 years reckonable residence out of the last 9 years, and if their application is successful will pay about €1000.

On March 2nd at the first ceremony, the Minister for Justice and Equality, Charlie Flanagan, welcomed the new citizens, noting that the day will be a milestone in their lives:

"The possibilities opened up to you in Ireland today are almost limitless; perhaps one day, you or a child or grandchild of yours, could be up here as a Government Minister, or as a Judge, or perhaps the President of Ireland."

On March 3rd at the second ceremony, presided over by Minister of State for Equality, Immigration and Integration David Stanton, retired Circuit Court Judge Paddy McMahon said the following (16:27):

"As new citizens you will contribute to the creation of a new inclusive and diverse society. In bringing your culture and traditions and unique experiences to this country and joining them with ours you redefine what it means to be Irish and you will enrich our national life."
