The person in question made an application for residency in the State as the spouse of an EU citizen exercising EU treaty rights in Ireland in May 2005. In order for an application of this nature to be approved, the EU citizen must reside and work in the State. Although evidence has been provided to show that the EU citizen resides in the State, no evidence has been provided to prove that the EU citizen works in the State. On receipt of this documentation a decision will be taken on the case.

My Department has no record of an application for naturalisation from the person to whom the Deputy refers.
