Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 14 November 2006
194 Mr. Durkan asked the Tánaiste and Minister for Justice, Equality and Law Reform the position in relation to 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. [37486/06]
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 1 February 2006.
Applications received in the second half of 2004 are currently being processed and there are approximately 6,000 applications awaiting processing before that of the person in question. It is likely that the processing of the application will commence in the first half of 2008.
I will inform the Deputy and the applicant when I have reached a decision on the application.
