The application for Irish citizenship, through entry in the Foreign Births Register, by the person to whom the Deputy has referred was received in the Department on 2 February, 2007. There has been no undue delay in processing this application. When an application is approved, the details are entered in the Foreign Births Register and an applicant becomes an Irish citizen as and from the date of that entry. A certificate confirming that an entry in the Foreign Births Register has been made in respect of the applicant will be issued to him shortly.
