An application for a certificate of naturalisation from the person referred to in the Deputy's question was received in the Citizenship Section of my Department on the 14 August 2006. Officials in that Section are currently processing applications received in the middle of 2005 and have approximately 6,400 applications on hand to be dealt with before that of the person concerned. These are generally dealt with in chronological order as this is deemed to be the fairest to all applicants. It is likely, therefore, that further processing of the application will commence in the first half of 2009. I will inform the Deputy and the person in question when a decision is reached in the case.

An application for a certificate of naturalisation from the person referred to in the Deputy's question was received in the Citizenship Section of my Department in June 2005. Officials in that Section are currently processing applications received in the middle of 2005 and the applicants file will therefore be forwarded to me for a decision in due course. I will inform the Deputy and the person in question when a decision is reached in the case.
