An application for a certificate of naturalisation from the person concerned was received in the Citizenship section of my Department in August 2005 and I decided to refuse the application. The reason for my decision was disclosed to the applicant in a letter dated 3 April 2008. There is no appeals process under the Irish Nationality and Citizenship Act 1956, as amended. It is open to the person in question to lodge a new application if and when he is in a position to satisfy the statutory requirements applicable at that time.
