Question 277: To ask the Tánaiste and Minister for Justice, Equality and Law Reform if he will make a speedy decision on a certificate of naturalisation application from a person (details supplied) in Dublin 15; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [28819/06]

An application for a certificate of naturalisation was received from the person in question on 1 July 2005. Applications received in the second half of 2004 are currently being processed and there are approximately 4000 applications awaiting processing before that of the person in question. No circumstances, other than those referred to by the Deputy, have been advanced by the person concerned as to why her application should not be processed in chronological order. Due to the continuing increase in the volume of applications for naturalisation, it is likely that the application of the person in question will be finalised by late 2007.
