Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 18 December 2007
487 Deputy Michael McGrath asked the Minister for Justice, Equality and Law Reform when a person (details supplied) in County Cork will receive a decision on their application for Irish citizenship through naturalisation. [34945/07]
Amharc ar fhreagraAn application for a certificate of naturalisation from the person referred to in the Deputy's question was received in the Citizenship Section of my Department on the 2 January 2007. Applications are generally dealt with in chronological order and this practice is not deviated from except in exceptional circumstances. However, I understand that a submission will shortly be made to my office for a decision on whether the case might be expedited. I will inform the Deputy and the person in question when a decision is reached on the matter.
