asked the Minister for Justice to state what progress has been made in providing the machinery for the purpose of the naturalisation of aliens.
Ceisteanna—Questions. Oral Answers. - Naturalisation of Aliens.
Legislation for the naturalisation of aliens is in contemplation, but I am not in a position to state when a Bill for the purpose can be introduced in the Dáil.
Will the Minister elaborate how far he has got when he comes to deal with the Expiring Laws (Continuance) Bill?
This is not an expiring law, I might inform the Deputy. It is contemplated legislation—not an existing or expiring law.
I do not know whether the Minister has read the memorandum handed round with the Bill. It is referred to in that as being promised legislation, and we are anxious to know how far it has progressed.
There is no expiring law.
