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 on 31 July 2006.
On examination of the application it was determined that the person concerned did not meet the statutory residency requirements as set out in the Irish Nationality and Citizenship Act 1956, as amended. A letter informing the applicant was issued on 16 January 2007. It is open to the individual concerned to lodge a new application if and when he is in a position to meet the statutory residency requirements.
