Question 941: To ask the Minister for Justice, Equality and Law Reform when an application for naturalisation will be finalised for a person (details supplied) in County Mayo. [24704/05]

An application for a certificate of naturalisation from the person referred to by the Deputy was received in the citizenship section of my Department on 13 April 2004.

The average processing time for such applications is currently 24 months. It is likely, therefore, that in the case of the application of the person concerned a decision will be finalised in or around April 2006.

I will be in touch with both the Deputy and the applicant when a decision has been made in the matter.
