I refer the Deputy to my replies to Parliamentary Questions 160 on 5 November, 2009 and 98 on 28 January, 2010.

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 October 2009. On examination of the application submitted it was determined that the application in its entirety be returned to the person concerned on 12 October, 2009 for further attention. 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 Division of my Department at any time.
