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 27 April 2004. In my response to Parliamentary Question No. 737 of 12 April 2005, I advised the Deputy that the average processing time for such applications was 24 months. I am advised by my officials that processing of the application of the person concerned has commenced and that the file will be presented to me for a decision in the near future. I will inform the Deputy and the applicant when the matter has been finalised.
