asked the Minister for Justice the number of people who have been granted certificates of naturalisation in the past year.
Ceisteanna—Questions. Oral Answers. - Certificates of Naturalisation.
12.
Seventy-one persons were granted certificates of naturalisation in the 12 months ending on 31st May, 1975.
Can the Minister inform me of the number of applications made in that 12 months?
The Deputy will have to ask me a separate question. I have not got that information here.
Has the Minister information as to how this figure may compare with the 12 months ending 31st May, 1974?
All the information I have is that in 1971-1972 71 certificates were granted; in 1972-1973 97 certificates were granted and in 1973-1974 90 certificates were granted.
