Vol. 396 No. 9
139 Mr. Gregory asked the Minister for Justice if he will make a favourable decision regarding the request of a person (details supplied) in Dublin 8 for naturalisation having regard to the fact that a year has elapsed since the application was last considered and to the fact that a commitment was given to review the request at that time; and if he will make a statement on the matter.
I am in the process of reviewing the application for naturalisation of the person referred to in the question. I will advise the Deputy of my decision on the application in due course.
140 Mr. Gregory asked the Minister for Justice if his attention has been drawn to the fact that a person (details supplied) in Dublin 8 has made a second application for naturalisation and is supported in this by his estranged wife and mother of his two children; if he will review the case sympathetically; and if he will make a statement on the matter.
The second application for naturalisation by the person referred to in the question was lodged on Wednesday last and will be considered in due course.
I should say that I am aware of the reasons for the refusal of the previous application and that I would have to be satisfied that there were very substantial changes before I would approve any application.
