Question 408: To ask the Tánaiste and Minister for Justice, Equality and Law Reform if he has made a decision regarding the application for naturalisation of a person (details supplied); and if he will make a statement on the matter. [29814/06]

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 1 November, 2005. Applications are currently taking approximately 24 months to process. It is likely, therefore, that the case will be submitted to me for decision around the end of 2007. I will of course advise both the Deputy and the person concerned when I arrive at a decision in the matter.
