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 2006. Officials in that Section inform me that a letter requesting further documentation was sent to the applicant's solicitor on 24 January 2008. To date, no reply has been received. The request for further documentation has been re-issued to both the person concerned and her solicitor this week. Further processing of the application will commence once the documentation requested has been received.

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 December 2005. A letter informing the person concerned that his application for a certificate of naturalisation was refused issued on 17 June 2008. Enclosed with this letter was a copy of the submission setting out the reasons why the application was refused. It is open to the person in question to lodge a new application at any stage, however, he should give due regard to the reasons for the previous refusal. Each application is examined on its own merits at the time of it being lodged and it is not possible to say if a future application will be favourably considered.
