Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 14 November 2006
189 Mr. Naughten asked the Tánaiste and Minister for Justice, Equality and Law Reform further to Parliamentary Question No. 110 of 2 November 2006, the status of an application for citizenship by a person (details supplied) in Dublin 16; when the application will be completed; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [37423/06]
View answerAn application for a certificate of naturalisation from the person referred to in the Deputy's question was received in the Citizenship section of my Department on 18 October 2006.
Applications received in the second half of 2004 are currently being processed and there are approximately 11,000 applications awaiting processing before that of the person in question. It is likely that the processing of the application will commence in the second half of 2008.
I will inform the Deputy and the person concerned when I have reached a decision on the application.
