Question:

224 Mr. Hogan asked the Minister for Justice, Equality and Law Reform if he will investigate the application for citizenship and naturalisation in respect of a person (details supplied) in Dublin 15; when a decision will be made; if it will be made as soon as possible; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [21968/02]

Minister for Justice, Equality and Law Reform (Mr. McDowell)

An application by the naturalised parent of the minor child referred to in the Deputy's question was received in my Department in February 2002.

I understand that this application is due to be submitted to me for a decision in the very near future and I will inform the applicant and the Deputy as soon as I have reached a decision in the case.
