Vol. 411 No. 4
161 Mr. Barry asked the Minister for Justice the reason for the long delay in introducing legislation to allow for the registration, as Irish citizens, of those who applied for citizenship before 31 December 1986 but who, because of the volume of applications, were not registered at that time.
As I have informed the House on previous occasions, I could not undertake, by way of response to a parliamentary question, to disclose what particular legislative proposals I have in mind. Any such proposals will, in the normal way, be brought before the Government, and, if approved, will be announced in the usual manner.
