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 August 2007. Applications are generally dealt with in chronological order and this practise is not deviated from except in exceptional circumstances. However, due to the circumstances outlined in your question, I understand that a submission will shortly be made to my Office for a decision on whether this case might be expedited.
