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 November 2006. On examination of the application it was determined that the person in question did not meet the residency requirements as set out in the Irish Nationality and Citizenship Act 1956, as amended. A letter informing her of this was issued on 26 May 2007. It is open to the person concerned to lodge a new application if and when she is in a position to meet the statutory requirements applicable at that time.

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 January 2005. Officials in that section inform me that processing of the application has commenced and the file will be forwarded to me for a decision in the coming months. I will inform the Deputy and the person concerned when I have reached a decision on the matter.
