Hi, Irish one was really easy. I posted the application/request to my local HQ, which was Naas. For the attention of the superintendent. It took about a week. They did email me and request a copy of birth cert so that added some time. I received a email copy and then in the post a few days later. https://www.garda.ie/en/about-us/online-services/data-protection-foi-police-certificates/police-certificates.html
