I am advised by the Irish Naturalisation and Immigration Service (INIS) of my Department that valid applications for certificates of naturalisation have been received from the persons referred to by the Deputy.

As the Deputy will appreciate, the granting of Irish citizenship through naturalisation is a privilege and an honour which confers certain rights and entitlements not only within the State but also at European Union level and it is important that appropriate procedures are in place to preserve the integrity of the process. I am informed that processing of the applications has been finalised and that they will be submitted to me for decision shortly.
