An application for a certificate of naturalisation from the individual concerned was received in the Citizenship Section of my Department on 9 January 2004. As the person did not satisfy the statutory residency conditions as set out in Section 15 of the Irish Nationality and Citizenship Act, 1956 as amended, she was deemed ineligible to apply for naturalisation at the time. Her solicitor was advised accordingly in July 2006. It is open to the person in question to apply for a certificate of naturalisation at a future date, provided she satisfies the statutory conditions applicable at that time.
