Dáil Éireann Debate, Thursday - 25 November 2010
148 Deputy Bernard J. Durkan asked the Minister for Justice and Law Reform the position regarding citizenship in the case of a person (details supplied) in Dublin 7; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [44641/10]
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 November 2006.
The application is currently being processed in the normal way with a view to establishing whether the applicant meets the statutory conditions for the granting of naturalisation and will be submitted to me for decision when processing is completed. In this regard, additional documentation requested from the person concerned has not yet been submitted.
I should remind the Deputy that queries in relation to the status of individual Immigration cases may be made direct to INIS by Email using the Oireachtas Mail facility which has been specifically established for this purpose. The service enables up-to-date information on such cases to be obtained without the need to seek this information through the more administratively expensive Parliamentary Questions process.
