A declaration of acceptance of Irish citizenship as post-nuptial citizenship was received in the citizenship section of my Department on 10 October 2003 from the person referred to in the Deputy's question. Officials in the citizenship section wrote to the representatives of the person concerned by registered post on 10 January 2005 informing them that it was their view that the person concerned did not meet the statutory criteria for making a declaration of post-nuptial citizenship. However, the correspondence was returned to my Department marked "not called for". The company moved to a new address and the correspondence has been forwarded to that address. The person concerned has been afforded an opportunity to make a submission on the reasons for my officials' view and a final determination on the matter will take account of any submission that is made in this regard.
