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 December 2007. Officials in the Citizenship section inform me that the application has not been examined in detail. Examination of the residency requirement will take place in the near future and the applicant will be contacted at that time informing him when his application will be further examined or of any shortfall in his residency. I will inform the Deputy and the person in question when a decision has been reached on the application.
