The information requested by the Deputy is not compiled in a manner to allow for the identification of applications for naturalisation made by students, including from those who have received results in this year's Leaving Certificate.
The retrieval of this data would require a case by case examination of all applications received and would represent a significant diversion of resources from day to day processing.
However, I can say that currently, there are 265 applications on hand, at various stages of processing within the system, where the applicants are in the 16 to 18 years age group.
