Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 27 April 2004
762 Mr. Noonan asked the Minister for Justice, Equality and Law Reform if a favourable decision could be made on an application by a person (details supplied) for naturalisation in advance of their commencing studies at the University of Limerick in September 2004; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [12102/04]
View answerAn application for naturalisation from the person referred to by the Deputy was received in the citizenship section of my Department on 27 June 2003. Applications for naturalisation are currently taking approximately 18 months to process. Consequently, it is likely that the application of the person concerned will be finalised around the end of 2004. As soon as I have reached a decision on the matter, I will inform the applicant and the Deputy of the outcome.
