I have no plans at present to reform the legislation on citizenship and naturalisation beyond those changes contained in the Civil Law (Miscellaneous Provisions) Act, 2011.

My primary objective for legislative reform in the immigration area is to progress the Immigration, Residence and Protection Bill 2010 through the Oireachtas. I will, of course, continue to keep the Act in question under review.
