At least 12 years of lawful residence is required for naturalisation: 11 years aggregate in the 14 years before the final continuous 12 months. India does not allow dual citizenship, so Irish nationality must be renounced. Approval is discretionary by the government.

Wow that's a long time. Look, here is the story, I arrived with my partner and 2 children. Can we get some social welfare while we try and get a job. I'm totally skint at the moment, so I need a few $$ fast. How much will the Indian state pay us while we wait. Tell me briefly please.

None. India has no cash social welfare or unemployment payments for new arrivals or non-citizens. Ration cards, pensions and most assistance require Indian citizenship plus eligibility (e.g. BPL status). Formal-sector schemes need prior contributions. Support yourselves.
