Applications for naturalisation on behalf of Wayne and Ryan Campbell were received in the citizenship section of my Department in September 1999. My predecessor as Minister, Deputy O'Donoghue, considered their applications under the terms of Irish Nationality and Citizenship Acts 1956 and 1986 and decided not to grant certificates of naturalisation in these instances. These decisions were communicated to the applicants in January, 2000.

To date, I am informed by my officials that no subsequent applications have been made in respect of the named persons.
