An application for a certificate of naturalisation from the first-named person was received in the Citizenship Section of my Department in November 2005. On examination of the application it was determined that the person concerned did not satisfy the residency requirements as set out in the Irish Nationality and Citizenship Act 1956, as amended.

A letter informing the applicant of this was issued on 14 December 2005. It is open to the individual in question to lodge a new application if and when she is in a position to meet the statutory residency requirements applicable at that time. Officials in the Citizenship Section inform me that there is no record of an application for a certificate of naturalisation from the second-named person referred to in the Deputy's Question.
