The person to whom the Deputy refers was granted permission to remain in 2001 under the procedures then in place for the non-EEA parents of Irish citizen children. I am informed that this permission to remain is currently valid until 4 January, 2013. 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 February 2007.

On examination of the application submitted by the person concerned it was determined that she had not submitted a copy of her passport/green book. A letter was issued to her on 24 May, 2007 informing her that copies of her current and previous passports/green books were required. This letter was re-issued again on 9 October, 2007. A 21 day letter was issued to the person in question on 19 January, 2008. To date the Citizenship Division of my Department have not received the requested documentation and the application has been deemed ineligible. It is open to the person in question to lodge a new application for a certificate of naturalisation if and when she is in a position to meet the statutory requirements.
