Applications for certificates of naturalisation from the persons referred to in the Deputy's Question were received in the Citizenship section of my Department in April 2000. The files were forwarded to my predecessor in August 2002 and he decided to refuse the applications. The applicants were informed of this in a letter issued via their solicitor on 20 August 2002. It is open to the persons in question to lodge new applications if and when they are in a position to meet the statutory requirements applicable at that time.
