Question 189: To ask the Minister for Justice, Equality and Law Reform the stage of an application for naturalisation (details supplied). [16735/06]

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 25 November 2004.

The average processing time for such applications is 24 months at the present time. It is likely, therefore, that the application of the person concerned will be finalised in or around November 2006. I will advise both the Deputy and the person concerned as soon as I have made a decision in the matter.
