Question:77 Mr. D. Ahern asked the Minister for Justice the position regarding the application for naturalisation of a person (details supplied) in Dublin 5; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [1133/95]
The situation with this person's application for a certificate of naturalisation has not altered since my predecessor wrote to the Deputy on the matter in July 1994. It was indicated to the Deputy at that time that, if the applicant reactivated his application in 12 months from the date, his application would be reconsidered. I intend to honour that commitment.
