Applications for certificates of naturalisation from the persons referred to in the Deputy's Question were received in the Citizenship Division of my Department in January 2007.

Officials in the Citizenship Division of my Department prepared submissions in respect of the applications and it was clear that a driving offence had been recorded by An Gárda Síochána against the second named person only. Having considered the submissions, I decided not to grant the applications. The reasons for refusal were disclosed to the persons concerned in letters dated 2 April 2009.
