A declaration of acceptance of Irish citizenship as post nuptial citizenship was received in the citizenship section of my Department on 6 December 2004 from the person referred to in the Deputy's question.

The current processing time for such declarations is approximately ten months from the date of lodgement and it is likely, therefore, that the processing of the declaration of the person concerned will be finalised by October 2005. I will advise the Deputy and the applicant when the matter has been concluded.
