335. Deputy Éamon Ó Cuív asked the Minister for Foreign Affairs and Trade when a decision will be made in respect of an application for foreign birth registration submitted by a person (details supplied); the reason for the delay in processing the application in view of the fact that all supporting documentation requested has been provided; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

Amharc ar fhreagraApplications for Foreign Births Registration generally take between four and six months to process from the time all the required documentation has been submitted.
The application referred to by the Deputy was received in my Department on 01 September 2016. Following an examination of the application, further supporting documentation was requested from the applicant on 23 November 2016 and was subsequently received by my Department on 9 January 2017.
A determination will be made and the applicant notified in the coming weeks, which is within our processing targets.
