An application for a certificate of naturalisation from the person referred to in the Deputy's Question was received in the Citizenship Section of my Department in August 2009. On examination of the application submitted, it was determined that the application in its entirety be returned to the person concerned for further attention on 12 August, 2009. In order to be fair to all applicants, only valid applications can be considered. It is open to the person in question to re-submit the application to the Citizenship Section of my Department at any time.
