More than 5,600 people are due to be conferred with Irish citizenship at ceremonies in Dublin over the next two days, according to Irish media reports.
The ceremonies take place as part of a broader programme of citizenship events hosted in Dublin this week. One outlet reports that the total figure will be 5,600, while another states it is more than 5,500, suggesting the number varies slightly depending on the specific day or final processing figures.
IrishCentral adds that applicants from more than 130 countries are taking part across six separate ceremonies during the week. The accounts are consistent on the timing and location—Dublin—and on the scale of the citizenship conferrals, while differing mainly in the precise headline total and the level of detail about the number of ceremonies and countries represented.
