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 14 July 2004.

The average processing time for such applications is 24 months at the present time. It is likely, therefore, that the case will be finalised in or around July this year. I will be in touch with both the Deputy and the applicant when I have reached a decision in the matter.
