An application for a certificate of naturalisation from the person referred to in the Deputy's question was received in the Citizenship Section of my Department on 28 April 2006.

As a general rule only photocopies of documentation are requested from applicants for naturalisation. I have been informed by staff in the Citizenship section of my Department that there is no record that any original documentation accompanied the application for naturalisation of the person in question.

I will inform the Deputy and the person concerned when I have reached a decision on the application.
