I have been informed by officials in the citizenship section of my Department that there is no record of an application for naturalisation or a declaration of post-nuptial citizenship having been received from the person referred to by the Deputy.

However, I understand the person concerned lodged an application on 2 June 2004 for permission to remain on foot of her marriage to an Irish citizen. Officials in the immigration operations section of my Department are currently processing applications for such permission which were received in April 2004. It is likely, therefore, that the application of the person concerned will be finalised in the next few months.
