Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 12 February 2008
576 Deputy Eamon Scanlon asked the Minister for Justice, Equality and Law Reform when the application for naturalisation by a person (details supplied) will be processed; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [5159/08]
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 in September 2007. Officials in that section have recently contacted the applicant requesting further documents to enable them calculate the reckonable residency. The application will be further examined on receipt of these documents. The person in question will then be informed when further processing of the application will commence or of any shortfall in his residency. I will inform the Deputy and the person concerned when I have reached a decision on the matter.
