I am advised by officials in the Citizenship Division of my Department that the applicant in question applied for naturalisation on the 13th January 2003. At the time of his application, he did not fulfil the statutory residency conditions as set out in the Irish Nationality and Citizenship Act, 1956, as amended.

It is now open to the applicant to submit a new application for naturalisation. This information has already been communicated to his solicitor by letter of 19 December 2006.
