🇮🇪 Your Concerns Matter. We’re Making Them Heard.

Behind every citizenship application is a person, there is a family and a future.

AIPPS Ireland has brought your concerns about the proposed Irish citizenship reforms to the Oireachtas Joint Committee on Justice, Home Affairs and Migration.

Our submission calls for:
✦ Fair five-year citizenship pathways.
✦ Protection for existing residents and pending applications.
✦ Recognition of healthcare and essential workers.
✦ Safeguards for spouses, families and people facing hardship.
✦ Recognition of equivalent language evidence.
✦ Fair financial conditions and review procedures.

Your contribution to Ireland deserves recognition. Your concerns deserve representation.

These are AIPPS recommendations on proposed reforms, not enacted changes.

📣 YOUR VOICES, BROUGHT TO THE OIREACHTAS

An important milestone in AIPPS Ireland’s citizenship advocacy.

Following a formal invitation from the Oireachtas Joint Committee on Justice, Home Affairs and Migration, we have submitted our recommendations on the proposed citizenship reforms.

Our submission builds on our earlier representations to Ministers, our policy statement and 508 anonymous survey responses—bringing participants’ concerns into the Committee’s examination of the proposed legislation.

We are calling for:

✅ Clear transitional protection for people already lawfully living and working in Ireland.
✅ Retention of the five-year pathway, with recognition of healthcare and other essential skilled-worker contributions.
✅ Recognition of existing professional language competence.
✅ Fair safeguards for families and people experiencing illness, parental leave or temporary hardship.

📊 Among those answering our retention question, 372 of 504 respondents (73.8%) said the hypothetical eight-year scenario would make them less likely to remain or consider/plan leaving Ireland. These are stated intentions, not actual departures, but they underline the need for careful consideration of workforce retention.

Behind these responses are careers, families and years of contribution to Ireland.

Thank you to everyone who completed the survey, shared our campaign and supported this work. We will continue engaging constructively and keep you informed of further developments.

Please share this update so colleagues know their concerns are being represented.

Advocating for fairness. Recognising contribution.

Ireland’s citizenship rules are changing and the voices of people already living and working here matter.

AIPPS Ireland has surveyed more than 500 respondents about the proposed changes affecting people who have already built their lives in Ireland.

The survey materials report that:

📊 73.8% (372 of 504 respondents) said an eight-year scenario would make them less likely to stay in Ireland or would make them consider/plan leaving.

Among respondents, 319 of 505 (63.2%) were doctors.

When asked about the approach they considered fairest for people already lawfully living and working in Ireland:

• 50.6% supported a five-year route for healthcare/skilled workers
• 28.5% supported a five-year route for existing residents
• 19.2% supported five years for everyone
• 1.4% supported eight years for everyone

These are stated intentions and survey responses, not evidence of actual departures. But they provide an important indication of how proposed changes may be perceived by a significant group of skilled professionals already contributing to Irish society.

The Government's reported proposals would increase the standard residence period for naturalisation from five to eight years, alongside proposed language, civics and other requirements.

At the same time, Ireland continues to identify shortages in sectors including healthcare and has been adjusting employment-permit policy to address labour and skills shortages.

The central question is therefore one that deserves careful consideration: how should citizenship policy balance integration, long-term residence, contribution to Irish society and the need to retain essential skills?

AIPPS Ireland's survey contributes one set of evidence to that discussion. The full methodology, sample and wording of each question should be considered when interpreting the results.

Good news may be coming! 📣

AIPPS hopes to share an update soon on its request of possible inclusion in a national committee on citizenship reform. We’ll confirm the details when finalised.

AIPPS has written to both ministers, shared its detailed position statement for skilled workers across Ireland with the Oireachtas Joint Committee, and raised these concerns through the media.

Over 500 people have responded to our survey. Thank you!

⏰ The survey closes tonight. If you’re a skilled professional living in Ireland, please complete it now and share this Story with colleagues in other professions.

May He grant his family patience (*sabr*), strength and comfort during this incredibly difficult time. Ameen.

Hi everyone -

We have received almost 400 responses to this survey while our target is to get atleast 1000 replies to make a stronger report before we submit it to Dept. of Justice.

It's not only for Doctors but all skilled workers, so please feel free to share it with everyone out there. Thanks

AIPPS Ireland has set up this short anonymous survey to understand how the proposed changes to Irish naturalisation requirements may affect healthcare professionals and other skilled workers who are legally living, working and contributing to Revenue in Ireland.
