Applications for certificates of naturalisation from the persons referred to by the Deputy are currently being dealt with by officials in the Citizenship section of my Department. However, as the Deputy and the applicants are aware, a difficulty arose over the identities used by the persons in question on entering the State. My officials are continuing their efforts to satisfactorily resolve this issue. I will inform both the Deputy and the applicants when the matter has been resolved.
