Question 302: To ask the Minister for Justice and Equality if his attention has been drawn to the problems faced by children of two naturalised parents in obtaining third level education as an Irish-EU national these children are being asked to pay international fees as they are unable to apply for citizenship prior to their 18th birthday or receive the relevant stamps from him; if he will rectify this issue; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

In the absence of more specific information, I can only advise the Deputy that naturalised parents may make an application for Citizenship on behalf of their minor children under Section 16 (c) of the Irish Nationality and Citizenship Act 1956, as amended.
