Question 232: To ask the Minister for Justice, Equality and Law Reform if his Department can expedite a decision in relation to the application for naturalisation by a person (details supplied) in County Wexford who has resided here since 1974; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

An application for naturalisation from the person referred to by the Deputy was received in the citizenship section of my Department on 9 March 2004.
Applications for naturalisation are currently taking approximately 18 months to process. Consequently, it is likely that the application of the person concerned will be finalised in late 2005. As soon as I have reached a decision on the matter, I will inform both the applicant and the Deputy of the outcome.
