I refer the Deputy to my replies to Parliamentary Questions No. 424 of 19 April 2005, No. 199 of 21 April 2005, No. 988 of 28 September 2005 and No. 366 of 12 October 2005.

I have already informed the Deputy that the person concerned applied for naturalisation in April 2003 and I decided to refuse that application. I also informed the Deputy that a further application was received in July 2005 and it is likely that this application will be finalised by the end of 2006. This is still the position.
