I am advised by officials in the citizenship section of my Department that there is no record of applications for certificates of naturalisation having been received from or on behalf of the persons referred to by the Deputy. An application on behalf of a third member of the family referred to by the Deputy was received in citizenship section on 1 February last. My officials have been informed by a member of staff in the Deputy's office that applications on behalf of the two persons concerned were sent from the Deputy's office to my Department a few days after that of the third family member, but it appears that these did not reach citizenship section. I have asked my officials to send further application forms to the Deputy's office and when these are appropriately completed, they should be forwarded directly to the Citizenship Section, Department of Justice, Equality and Law Reform, 13/14 Burgh Quay, Dublin 2.
