I informed the Deputy in my response to Parliamentary Question No. 149 on 26 January that the person concerned arrived in the State on 14 October 2005 and is the subject of a transfer order under the Dublin II regulations, Council Regulation (EC) No. 343/2003. Her transfer to Belgium, where she sought asylum in April 2005, is now an operational matter for the Garda national immigration bureau.
I have been informed by officials in the citizenship section of my Department that there is no record of an application for naturalisation being received from the person concerned. Since she has only been present in the State for a few months and does not belong to one of the categories of applicants for whom I am empowered to waive the residency requirement, refugee or stateless person, it appears unlikely that she is eligible to apply for naturalisation.
