An application for a certificate of naturalisation from the first person referred to in the Deputy's Question was received in the Citizenship Section of my Department in April 2007.

Officials in that section inform me that processing of the application has commenced and the file will be forwarded to me for a decision in the coming months.

Officials inform me that there is no record of an application for a certificate of naturalisation from the second person referred to in the Deputy's Question. It is open to the person concerned to lodge an application for a certificate of naturalisation if and when they are in a position to meet the statutory requirements applicable at that time.
