I refer the Deputy to the Reply to Parliamentary Question No. 867 of 24 September 2008. I am informed by the Immigration Division of my Department that 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 November 2007. Officials in my Department are currently processing applications received in April 2006. All applications are dealt with in chronological order as this is deemed to be the fairest to all applicants.

I am also informed by the Immigration Division of my Department that a decision has been reached in relation to the family reunification application of the person in question and they will be informed of the decision shortly.
