The person referred to in the Deputy's question made an initial application for naturalisation in December 2004. He did not meet the statutory residency requirement. A further 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 March 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 him when his application will be further examined or, of any shortfall in his residency.
