Citizenship ceremonies make post-Covid return to Killarney

Just under 1,000 people are to be conferred in two ceremonies.

Candidates from dozens of countries will take an oath of fidelity to the nation, receive certificates of naturalisation and so leave the INEC as full Irish citizens.

The first in-person Citizenship Ceremonies in over two years will place today in Killarney with just under 1,000 people to be conferred in two formal ceremonies.

Minister for Justice Helen McEntee TD, retired High Court judge Bryan MacMahon and retired District Court judge Paddy McMahon will be presiding at the events in INEC Killarney.
