An application for a certificate of naturalisation was received in the Citizenship section of my Department on 8 February 2006. Applications are generally dealt with in chronological order as this method is deemed to be fairest to all applicants. However, due to circumstances outlined by the Deputy, I understand that a submission will shortly be made to my Office for a decision on whether this case might be expedited. I will inform the Deputy and the person in question once I have reached a decision on the application.
