Dáil Éireann Debate, Wednesday - 17 October 2007
342 Deputy Pat Rabbitte asked the Minister for Justice, Equality and Law Reform the status of an application for citizenship by a person (details supplied) in Dublin 24; and when a decision is due; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [24167/07]
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 in October 2005.
Officials in that Section are currently processing applications received at the beginning of 2005 and have approximately 3,500 applications on hand to be dealt with before that of the person concerned. These are generally dealt with in chronological order as this is deemed to be the fairest to all applicants. It is likely, therefore, that further processing of the application will commence in the first half of 2008. I will inform the Deputy of the outcome of this application.
