Question:434. Deputy Bernard J. Durkan asked the Minister for Justice and Equality if, in the determination of eligibility for naturalisation in the case of a person (details supplied) in County Kildare, cognisance will be taken of the fact that the applicant made the relevant application for renewal of Stamp 4 in good time and for whatever logistical reasons, it was not found possible for the Immigration Officer to meet with the applicant and progress the application for sometime after their request which ultimately results in gaps in the required residency notwithstanding the fact that they were permanently resident and at work in this jurisdiction for more than five years; if the case might therefore be examined with a view to crediting the applicant with their full entitlement in respect of their residency; and if he will make a statement on the matter.
