An application for a certificate of naturalisation from the person concerned was received in the citizenship section of my Department on the 28 April 2004. At present, the average processing time of such applications is approximately 24 months. Therefore, it is likely that the application of the person referred to by the Deputy will be finalised in the first half of 2006. As soon as I have reached a decision on the application, both the applicant and the Deputy will be informed of the outcome.
