I am advised by the Irish Naturalisation and Immigration Service (INIS) of my Department that the person concerned was granted refugee status on 22 November 2013.
A letter issued to the person on 22 November 2013 informing her of the Minister's decision together with an instruction that they attend their local Garda station in order to be registered as a refugee.
I am informed by Citizenship Division that there is no record of an application for a Certificate of Naturalisation having been submitted by the person referred to in the Deputy's question. It is open to anyone to apply for naturalisation when they are in a position to satisfy the statutory requirements.
