Applications for certificates of naturalisation from the persons referred to were received in the Citizenship Section of my Department in October 2005. On examination of these applications it was determined that the applicants did not meet the statutory residency requirements as set out in the Irish Nationality and Citizenship Act 1956, as amended. A letter informing them of this was issued on 21 November 2005. It is open to the individuals concerned to lodge new applications if and when they are in a position to meet the statutory requirements applicable at that time.
