Irish Citizenship - application form queries

MirrorMirror01

Hi everyone

I'm in the process of filling out the application form to apply for Irish Citizenship through marriage.
I am from the Uk and have lived in Ireland for 15yrs and have been married for 10yrs to an Irish citizen.

I've been reading through past threads over the last few weeks but still have a few questions.

Under the "Means of Support" section the options given are Employed; Self-Employed; Retired; Studying; Unemployed; Other.
I have been a stay at home parent for the last 10yrs. Is the "Other" box the most appropriate box to tick, with an additional note to state that my husband is financially supporting me? Is this sufficient or should I include any more information?

I also wanted to ask if anyone would know whether doing a 10 month Fás course 15 years ago would be likely to go against me. Although I only need to list any welfare payments for the last 3 yrs I don't want to omit the Fás course payments if that will inevitably come up through the process and look poorly on me for not mentioning it.

Lastly, I don't have any stamps in my British passport to give as evidence of residency permission. This is mentioned on the supporting notes for Section 4 (previous addresses). I'm unsure whether I need this and if so, what can be done about it at this stage.

If anyone can help it would be much appreciated. Thank you.

It seems sufficient.
What more information can you possibly include?

Rules on the form are pretty straight forward. If you only need to include social assistance payments from last 3 years, then it clearly means, you don't need to include any information about FAS course from 15 years ago.

Lastly, I don't have any stamps in my British passport to give as evidence of residency permission. This is mentioned on the supporting notes for Section 4 (previous addresses). I'm unsure whether I need this and if so, what can be done about it at this stage.

As EU citizen, you don't need any stamps, GNIB or similar or results from residency calculator.
All you have to include is probably 3 different proofs of address for each of the previous years - (3 or 5 I'm not sure).
