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 2004. Processing of the application has commenced and the file will be submitted to me for a decision in the coming months.

The Deputy will appreciate that each application received is subject to various enquiries and depending on the complexity of the case in question, these can take time to complete. I am advised by my officials that the application referred to by the Deputy should be sent to me for decision shortly.
