i looked it up a while ago, residency requires having been there for two years on a work permit or whatever. citizenship is 10 years of living in ireland, four of which had to have been residency, and also a background check. not too bad

I do recall there was a recent court ruling that due the wording of the law requiring "continuous" residence or something similar, that you had to have literally not stepped foot outside the state for the residency period for it to count. Not sure if that has been fixed yet. No one was happy about it and it wasn't the intent of the law, but a judge ruled that that's what the wording said.
