A valid application for a certificate of naturalisation from the person referred to in the Deputy's Question was received in the Citizenship Division of my Department in October 2005 and I decided in my absolute discretion not to grant a certificate of naturalisation. The person in question was informed of this decision and the reasons for refusal in a letter issued to her on 6 April, 2009.
It is open to the person concerned to lodge a new application for a certificate of naturalisation with the Citizenship Division of my Department at any time however, she should bear in mind the reasons for refusal of her previous application.
