Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 23 March 2004
506 Mr. Perry asked the Minister for Justice, Equality and Law Reform if an application for naturalisation has been received by his Department for a person (details supplied); if he will ensure that it is processed immediately; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [8878/04]
View answerAn application for a certificate of naturalisation from the person referred to by the Deputy was received in the citizenship section of my Department on 27 February 2004.
The average processing time for applications for naturalisation is 15 to 18 months at present. A letter was sent to the applicant on 2 March 2004 informing her that her application had been received and that it was likely that her application would be examined during the course of 2005.
I will inform the Deputy and the person concerned as soon as I have reached a decision on the application.
