Question:98 Mr. Ring asked the Minister for Justice when Irish passports will issue to persons (details supplied) in view of the fact that their applications were submitted on 16 January 1996. [13821/96]
Written Answers. - Naturalisation Application.
Applications for naturalisation were made some time ago from the persons in question on foot of their proposed investment in an Irish company.
These applications are being considered and assessed by my Department in accordance with the terms of reference of the investment based naturalisation scheme. In that context, inquiries are continuing about the status of the proposed investment and, in particular, its recipient company.
