I informed the Deputy in response to Parliamentary Question No. 553 on 21 February 2006 that my officials could not proceed with the processing of the declaration of the person in question until that person made contact with my Department.
An e-mail was received on 25 April 2006 from the Irish spouse of the individual concerned, informing my officials that the family was now residing outside the State and requesting that the declaration be finalised.
A copy of my Department's letter of 5 August has now been sent on to the person concerned at his new address.
