The Immigrant Council of Ireland released a new report yesterday, Living in Limbo - Migrant's Experience of Applying for Naturalisation in Ireland.
The report examines the experience of 315 migrants from more than 60 countries and calls for urgent reform as unfortunately, as is the case with many areas of immigration law and related policy, naturalisation can be a complicated and at times unjust process.
Interestingly, the research shows that many migrants applied for citizenship to secure a permanent immigration status. Addressing this point, yesterday's press release quotes NASC chief executive Fiona Finn:
Citizenship should not be perceived as the only viable means of overcoming the stress and strain of living on temporary residence permissions year after year.
Looking forward to delving into the report in detail.
