Vol. 245 No. 8

Ceisteanna—Questions. Oral Answers. - New Irish Citizens.

29.

asked the Minister for Justice the number of people who became naturalised Irish citizens in 1969; and their countries of origin.

Ninety-one persons became naturalised Irish citizens in 1969. The statistics as recorded show previous nationalities rather than countries of origin but in practice this amounts to substantially the same thing. The details are given in a tabular statement which, with your permission, a Cheann Comhairle, will be included in the Official Report:
