The person referred to in the Deputy's Question applied for a certificate of naturalisation in May 2004. This application was considered under the provision of the Irish Nationality and Citizenship Act 1956, as amended and it was decided to refuse same. The reason for the decision was disclosed to the person in question in a letter dated 11 December 2006.

The said Act does not provide for a formal process of appeal on review. However, it is open to the individual concerned to lodge a new application if and when he is in a position to meet the statutory requirements applicable at that time.
