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 on 20 August, 2003. On examination of the application it was determined that the person concerned did not meet the statutory residency requirements as set out in the Irish Nationality and Citizenship Act 1956, as amended. A letter informing the applicant of this was issued on 25 October 2005. It is open to the individual concerned to lodge a new application if and when she is in a position to meet the statutory residency requirements.
