View answerAn application for citizenship through Foreign Birth Registration was submitted by the person referred to by the Deputy, to our Embassy, London in October 2013. A legal issue was identified and the application was forwarded to Dublin for consideration. The Department sought the advice of the Adoption Authority of Ireland in relation to the legal question raised. My Department is awaiting a response from the Adoption Authority of Ireland. Once the advice of the Adoption Authority of Ireland has been received, the application will be considered further.
