Written answers

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

A declaration of acceptance of post-nuptial citizenship from the person referred to by the Deputy was received in my Department on 30 September 2003. The current processing time for such declarations is approximately eight months from the date of lodgement and it is likely therefore, that the processing of the declaration of the person referred to in the Deputy's question will be finalised in late May or early June. I will advise the Deputy when the matter has been concluded.
