Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 24 February 2004
440 Mr. P. Breen asked the Minister for Justice, Equality and Law Reform the position regarding an application for a person (details supplied) in County Clare regarding residency; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [5682/04]
View answerA declaration of acceptance of post-nuptial citizenship from the person referred to by the Deputy was received in my Department in July 2003. The average processing time for declarations of post-nuptial citizenship is approximately eight months.
The declaration and its supporting documentation have recently been examined by officials in the citizenship section of my Department. I have been informed that it is necessary to clarify a couple of matters and a letter has issued to the person concerned in the last few days.
I will advise the Deputy when the matter has been concluded.
