On 24 September 2003, the applicant was requested by letter to provide information which would indicate the date of arrival of her son into the State and the date or dates of his enrolment in school here.

A facsimile of an undated letter from a school in the applicant's home town was received in the citizenship section of my Department on 17 October 2003. This letter did not contain the information which has been sought. A further facsimile of a letter dated January 2004 from the same school was received on 5 February 2004. Again, this letter did not contain the information which had been sought. In keeping with my undertaking to the Deputy in my response to Question No. 425, my officials wrote to the applicant on 11 February 2004 setting out in detail the information that is required to enable them to process the application on behalf of the minor concerned.
