To ask the Minister for Justice and Equality when a person (details supplied) approved for citizenship who has submitted all the required documents and certification fee may expect to be called to attend the citizenship ceremony at which they will make a declaration of fidelity to the Irish Nation and loyalty to the State; if the person will be allocated a place at the next citizenship ceremony; when the next ceremony will take place; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

Citizenship ceremony days take place periodically throughout the year, at which up to 4,000 candidates for citizenship make their declaration of fidelity to the Irish nation and loyalty to the State, give an undertaking to uphold the laws of the State and to respect its democratic values and receive their certificate of naturalisation. The next citizenship ceremony day will take place in March 2013. The person concerned has been allocated a place and an invitation will issue to him shortly.
