Living in Limbo: Migrant’s Experiences of Applying for Naturalisation in Ireland

This report by the Immigrant Council of Ireland, in collaboration with Nasc, details the current experience of migrants applying for Irish citizenship. For the report they interviewed migrants navigating the system, outlined the legislative and administrative application process for granting or refusing long-term residence or citizenship, and compared Ireland’s eligibility requirements and application process to five key countries. Atlantic and The Sisters of Charity funded this study which aims to influence the comprehensive reform of Ireland’s approach to granting citizenship, by making it more transparent and equitable for all.

Immigrant Council of Ireland is an Atlantic grantee.
