As you can see my documents arrived in Dublin 8 days ago but have yet to be processed.

Received my passport today, bringing to an end my citizenship application! It came with a letter noting on which page to sign it and that my supporting documents will be returned in 15 working days. Thanks to everyone on this and the FBR forum for making the 2 year and 7 month journey (from beginning the documents collection for my FBR through to the passport app) bearable! Good luck to everyone who's waiting on theirs.
