The granting of Irish citizenship through naturalisation is governed by the provisions of the Irish Nationality and Citizenship Act 1956, as amended. All applications for a certificate of naturalisation are processed in line with the eligibility criteria as set out under this Act.
The naturalisation application from the person referred to by the Deputy was not progressed due to lack of engagement; specifically, the failure to provide a copy of the applicant's passport. I am advised the Citizenship Division will seek to make further contact with the applicant directly in this regard.
