An application for a certificate of naturalisation from the first-named person was received in the Citizenship section of my Department in September 2007. The application has not yet been examined in detail. Examination of the residency requirement will take place in the near future and the applicant will be contacted again at that time informing her when her application will be further examined or of any shortfall in her residency.

I am pleased to inform you that I have recently approved the applications of the second and third-named individuals. Officials in the Citizenship section have written to the parents of these persons and requested certain documentation. Certificates of naturalisation will issue on receipt of the documentation.
