479 Mr. P. Breen asked the Minister for Justice, Equality and Law Reform if the citizenship application by persons (details supplied) in County Clare will be dealt with in the near future; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [17180/04]
Amharc ar fhreagraApplications from three members of the family referred to by the Deputy were received in the citizenship section of my Department on 19 April 2004. As the Deputy is aware, such applications are taking approximately 18 months to process. Consequently, the applications referred to have not yet been examined in any detail. I will give consideration to the matters raised by the Deputy and will communicate with him directly in the near future.
