The Irish language is the first official language of the State and it is standard practice that the Citizenship section of my Department issue certificates of naturalisation in Irish.
Translations of the certificate in English are available on request and I am advised that such a translation was forwarded to the person in question on 22 March 2007, in response to a query on his behalf.
