I refer the Deputy to the reply I gave to Questions Nos. 214 on Thursday, 28 April 2005, and 133, on Thursday, 26 May 2005. Applications received under the revised arrangements announced by me on 15 January 2005 are currently being examined in respect of the persons concerned. I understand that the examination will determine whether there is a necessity for the applicants to travel outside the State to obtain identity documents for the purpose of complying with this scheme. I also understand that a decision will be made shortly in respect of the applications from the persons concerned.
