All those making an application for an Irish FBR (Foreign Birth Registration & citizenship) may like to know just how efficient the Irish Government embassy and consular staff have been in my case.
In these days of red tape and long waiting times, it's really quite amazing.
I delivered my FBR application to the Irish Embassy in Lusaka, Zambia on 15 March 2017. Seven (yes 7) days later, I got a phone call saying it had been issued and would I please arrange collection.
I took a lot of time and trouble to make sure every single application document was in order and included, and I think that helped a lot - help them to make the processing as easy as possible.
Truly a great job and great service by the Irish Embassy Lusaka.
