IMPACT – MEDIUM
The Department of Justice and Equality announced this week that it will ease the registration renewal process of foreign national students in the greater Dublin area and will offer a legislative solution to a recent court ruling on citizenship eligibility requirements.
Key Points:
Analysis & Comments: The changes are positive developments for university students and citizenship applicants. The introduction of the new registration system for students is timed to coincide with the start of the school year, and could benefit as many as 8,000 people between September and November. It is also a potential opportunity for expansion of a similar scheme for other foreign national populations – such as those on employment permits. As for the citizenship ruling, officials said they do not believe the ruling has effect on people who have already obtained citizenship and encouraged those in the process of applying for citizenship to continue collecting any necessary proofs to support their applications.
