As I have previously advised to the Deputy, the person concerned does not have a current permission to reside in the State. Therefore, they are not in a position to make an application for naturalisation as they will not satisfy the required reckonable residence criteria prior to the application for naturalisation being made.
To allow for a full examination of the person's circumstances, the person concerned should write to Unit 2, Domestic Residence and Permissions Division, INIS, 13/14 Burgh Quay, Dublin 2 D02 XK70 explaining their current circumstances and future intentions in the State, and providing any documentation, including details of any previous permission held, that they feel will support their application.
In all cases, people must engage with the authorities if they wish to be permitted to remain here legally. A pragmatic approach is taken in relation to each case, which is considered on its individual merits.
