Vol. 522 No. 2
363 Mr. Durkan asked the Minister for Justice, Equality and Law Reform the requirements, statutory or otherwise, to be complied with by persons (details supplied) in County Kildare in their quest for naturalisation and whose parents are Irish citizens; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [18973/00]
379 Mr. Durkan asked the Minister for Justice, Equality and Law Reform the circumstances in which Irish citizenship/naturalisation will be considered in respect of persons (details supplied) in County Kildare who are themselves Irish citizens in view of the fact that the family have good employment prospects; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [17964/00]
I propose to take Questions Nos. 363 and 379 together.
In my reply to an earlier question raised by the Deputy, Question No. 121 of 10 February 2000, I outlined in detail the statutory requirements that must be complied with in order to apply for a certificate of naturalisation. It is open to the persons concerned to apply for naturalisation in the future if and when their circumstances better enable them to meet these requirements.
