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 April 2008.

I have been advised by officials in that Section that there were errors on the original application form and it was returned to the person in question on 15 April 2008 for amendment. The resubmitted application was not correct and was returned to the person in question for further amendment on 30 April 2008.

I have been advised by officials in that Section that there was an error on the original application form and it was returned to the person in question on 15 April 2008 so that it could be amended. An amended application was received by my Department on 2 May 2008.

The application has not been examined in detail. Examination of the residency requirement will take place in the near future and the applicant will be contacted at that time informing her when her application will be further examined or, of any shortfall in her residency.
