-will my citizenship application be refused???

You should get onto an immigration solicitor as we are not allowed to give legal advice here and that is what you need. However it is of my opinion that any conviction that leads to a suspended and especially a spent prison sentence would go against you.

Just because a conviction is spent doesn't mean it can't be asked about especially in another state and especially in the only country in the EU that doesn't have spent convictions legislation.

Speak to a solicitor ASAP.
