Question:1125 Mr. Perry asked the Minister for Justice, Equality and Law Reform when the application by a person (details supplied) for naturalisation will be processed; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [19858/03]
Written Answers. - Naturalisation Applications.
An application for a certificate of naturalisation from the person referred to by the Deputy was received in the citizenship section of my Department on 12 August 2003.
The average processing time of applications for naturalisation is approximately 15 to 18 months at the present time. Consequently, it is likely that the application of the person concerned will be finalised in early 2005.
As soon as I have reached a decision on the matter, I will inform both the applicant and the Deputy of the outcome.
