An application for a certificate of naturalisation on behalf of the person referred to in the Deputy's question was received in the Citizenship Division of my Department in January 2008 and I decided to refuse the application. The reason for refusal was disclosed to the parent of the person concerned in a letter issued on 30 October, 2008. It is open to the person in question to lodge a new application on behalf of their child if and when they are in a position to meet the statutory requirements applicable at that time.
