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 6 July 2004.

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