A valid 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 May 2009. I decided in my absolute discretion not to grant a certificate of naturalisation and the reason for refusal was disclosed to the parent of the person concerned in a letter issued on 20 October, 2009.

It is open to the parent of the person in question to lodge a new application for a certificate of naturalisation with the Citizenship Division of my Department at anytime. However, in doing so she should bear in mind the reason for refusal of the previous application.
