Should immigrants be required to pass a citizenship test to demonstrate a basic understanding of our country’s language, history, and government?

No, I believe only having a knowledge of the language should be necessary, as many citizens don't have a basic level of understanding

I do think yes, but it should only cover very basic and simple topics but also most citizens couldn't even pass a citizenship test, so it doesn't really matter.

Yes, but it cannot just be a pass with basic knowledge they must be able to be pass at a higher degree

Yes, and it should apply to everyone and set to high standards and difficult.

Any immigrant who enters the country should have to spend decades learning about the Irish and their country before they can gain citizenship. Partial citizenship should be default for foreigners.

I think they should be tested on a basic understanding of laws that affect daily life.

Yes, but only if they're trying to apply for dual citizenship.

Only an English/Irish test and laws of ireland

Not unless applying for Irish citizenship.

Yes but only if they're applying for full citizenship. Should not be a requirement for those coming for asylum, work, study who do not wish to pursue citizenship.

Yes, but without full citizenship for at least a few decades if ever

They should be given a chance to be educated on the topic, to then take the test

The criminal of attached the modes with out more decrease details are their way citizens of Ireland and UK with American Donald trump is the duck whether of more popular of republicans

we see both sides

Only if they wish to get citizenship

Yes, but only for how government functions to educate them to vote and be politically engaged

Yes, in very basic areas but it should not be a deciding factor in issuing citizenship, i.e. it should act more as education than testing. However, it should not apply to refugees and asylum seekers as this would be an unnecessary delay in their international protection application.

Yes make it simple and make it so you understand Irish values, but make it so you don't have to do the test or pay a fee if you can speak Irish.
