83 people in County Cavan and 39 in Monaghan have been granted Irish citizenship this year. 2024 will see a record number of people in the country taking the final steps towards receiving Irish citizenship, with decisions made in over 30,000 cases.
This is a 33 per cent increase on the 20,000 decisions made last year and also nearly double the number of decisions made in 2022.
Over 6,000 new Irish citizens were granted citizenship in seven ceremonies in Dublin on Monday and Tuesday this week alone.
