An application for a certificate of naturalisation from the person referred to in the Deputy's Question was received in the Citizenship Division of my Department in June 2008. I have requested Officials in the Citizenship Division of my Department to expedite the application and I have been informed that the file will be submitted to me for a decision in due course.
