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 February 2005. The file was forwarded to me for a decision in September 2005 and I decided to refuse the application. A letter disclosing my reasons for refusal was issued to the person concerned on 18 October 2005. It is open to the individual in question to lodge a new application if and when she is in a position to meet the statutory requirements applicable at that time.
