Dáil Éireann Debate, Thursday - 23 June 2005
192 Mr. Durkan asked the Minister for Justice, Equality and Law Reform the current and expected status of an application for naturalisation in the case of a person, details supplied, in County Kildare; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [21787/05]
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 16 June 2004. The average processing time for such applications is currently 24 months. On the basis of the current average processing time, therefore, it is likely that the application of the individual concerned will be finalised in mid-2006. I will inform both the applicant and the Deputy when a decision has been made on the application.
