An application for a certificate of naturalisation from the person referred to in the Deputy's question was received in the citizenship section of my Department on 17 February 2006.

The average processing time for such applications is 24 months. It is likely, therefore, that the application of the person concerned will be finalised in or around February 2008. I will advise both the Deputy and the person concerned as soon as I have made a decision in the matter.
