Applications for certificates of naturalisation from the persons referred to by the Deputy were received in the citizenship section of my Department on 28 October 2003. The average processing time for such applications is currently 24 months. On the basis of the current average processing time, therefore, it is likely that the applications of the individuals concerned will be finalised around October 2005. I will inform both the applicants and the Deputy as soon as I have reached a decision on the applications.
