Last week, I was pleased to attend, as Minister, the first Citizenship Ceremonies of 2025. These took place on 13 and 14 February at the Convention Centre Dublin.

I can advise the Deputy that planning is underway for the next citizenship ceremonies to be held in the second quarter of this year but no date has been set at this time.

My Department is committed to providing regular opportunities for applicants to complete the naturalisation process.

My Department held 24 citizenship ceremonies last year, an increase from the 15 ceremonies held in 2023, and the 6 that were held in 2022. Citizenship ceremonies will continue to be held on a regular basis during 2025.

Further information on Citizenship Ceremonies is available on my Department’s website here:
