The persons referred to in the Deputy's question, the adult spouse of a naturalised Irish citizen and his adult son, submitted applications for certificates of naturalisation to the Citizenship section of my Department on 14 November 2005 and 6 February 2006 respectively. Parliamentary Question No 173 of 8 June 2006 referred only to two minor children of the same family. Officials in Citizenship Section are currently processing applications for naturalisation received in the first half of 2004 and it is likely that the applications of the persons in question will be dealt with in late 2007 or early 2008. I will inform the Deputy and the persons concerned when I have reached a decision on the applications.
