I propose to take Questions Nos. 1025 and 1026 together.

Applications for certificates of naturalisation from the persons referred to by the Deputy, who are husband and wife, were received in the citizenship section of my Department on 7 April 2004. I have already informed the Deputy in response to Parliamentary Question No. 222 of 7 October 2004, which was in respect of the wife only, that it was likely that the application would be finalised in or around the middle of 2006. The applications of the husband and wife will be assessed together and both will be finalised around that time. I will inform both the applicant and the Deputy as soon as I have reached a decision on the applications.

I have been informed by officials in the citizenship section of my Department that there is no record of an application for a certificate of naturalisation having been received from the person referred to by the Deputy. The reference number provided by the Deputy appears to concern different individuals.
