An application for naturalisation from the individual in question was received in the Citizenship Division of my Department on 1 November 2005. The applicant was subsequently asked to provide certain documentation in support of his application but despite a number of written reminders, such documentation has not been received to date. There are approximately 4,500 applications awaiting processing before that of the applicant and, on the basis that he supplies the information requested, it is likely that the processing of his case will commence in the early part of next year. I will inform the Deputy and the person concerned when I have reached a decision.
