I propose to take Questions Nos. 478 and 479 together.

I am advised by the Irish Naturalisation and Immigration Service (INIS) of my Department that the number of persons (in round figures) naturalised each year from 2012 to 2014 inclusive is 25,100, 24,200, 21,100 respectively and 6,200 to date in 2015. Of these, 1,400, 1,800, 2,900 and 1,200 respectively are originally from other European Union States.
