An application for a certificate of naturalisation from the person concerned was received in the Citizenship Section of my Department in March 2004 and I decided to refuse the application. The reason for my decision was disclosed to the applicant via his Legal Representative in a letter dated 15 October 2008.

It is open to the person in question to lodge a new application if and when he is in a position to satisfy the statutory requirements applicable at that time.
