Hi, Ed. Sorry to see you haven't yet had any replies to the query you raised yesterday.

Tbh ... I, myself wasn't even aware of the "need" for the procedure you mention, but then ... ... it's possible the rules for marriage in countries abroad may well be different for Irish citizens.

Regrettably, therefore, I'm unable to answer your question. Having said that, I've merged your two threads on this subject - since they BOTH relate to the same topic - in the hope that someone else here can soon, either confirm or refute such a requirement.
