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 March 2003. 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 him of this was issued on 14 March 2005.

It is open to the person in question to lodge a new application if and when he is in a position to meet the statutory requirements applicable at that time.
