    Hello. I'm not sure if this is the place to ask, but I hope someone can help me get clear on this.

    I've been considering applying for Irish Citizenship through naturalisation.
    I've done my research and it appears I'd be eligible, except where it says one must be supporting themselves.

    This is where I'm stuck. I've been living in Ireland for 8 years, arriving here just in time to start secondary school.
    Currently I'm in full time higher education, having a bit over 2 years left to get a BA degree.
    While I'm studying, I am not employed and live with my parents.
    So going by that, could I still apply for a citizenship, or must I wait until I get a job and become self-supporting?

    "one must be supporting themselves" is a polite way of saying 'One must not be supported by the state' or 'one must not have drawn the dole'

    When is the money (including lost growth) Michael Noonan took in the Pension Levy going to be paid back?

    Again simple answer no your fathers passport does not matter to you in a visa application (unless he is exercising treaty rights but that's a whole other story). You can apply for a passport in your own right (processing times have been reduced).
