I refer the Deputy to my response to Parliamentary Question No. 442 of 16 May 2006.

Officials in the Citizenship Section of my Department had written to the person in question on 21 October 2005 and again on 4 March 2006 requesting further documentation in connection with her application for naturalisation. No reply has been received to those letters to date and on 2 November 2006, my officials wrote a final letter to the person concerned advising that if no reply is received within 21 days her file will be put away pending a response. No further communication will issue to the person in question in relation to this matter.

My officials have observed that the address provided in the details to this question differs from those provided to Citizenship section by the person concerned. I should point out that if the person in question has changed address since lodging her application for naturalisation, the onus is on her to keep the Department informed of any such change of address.
