An application for a certificate of naturalisation by the person referred to in the Deputy's question was received in the Citizenship Section of my Department on 27 August 2004. Applications received in the first half of 2004 are currently being processed and there are approximately 1,300 applications awaiting processing before that of the person in question. It is likely that processing of the application of the person in question will commence towards the end of this year. I will inform the Deputy and the person concerned when I have reached a decision on the application.
