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 October 2002.

The file was forwarded to my predecessor in January 2005 and he decided to refuse the application. The reason for refusal was disclosed to the person concerned in a letter dated 2 February 2005.

It is open to the person in question to lodge a new application should she be in the position to meet the statutory requirements applicable at that time.
