Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 19 January 2010
639 Deputy Bernard J. Durkan asked the Minister for Justice, Equality and Law Reform the position regarding an application for citizenship in respect of persons (details supplied) in Dublin 15; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [1753/10]
View answerA valid application for a certificate of naturalisation from the person referred to in the Deputy's Question was received in the Citizenship Division of my Department in January 2005. I decided in my absolute discretion to grant a certificate of naturalisation and the person in question was informed of that decision in a letter issued to him on 14 January, 2010.
A certificate of naturalisation will issue to the person concerned following receipt of the documentation requested to finalise their application.
Officials in the Citizenship Division inform me that there is no record of an application for a certificate of naturalisation from the spouse of the person referred to in the Deputy's Question.
