I am advised by the Citizenship Division of my Department that no application for a certificate of naturalisation has been received from the person concerned.

A determination on whether an applicant satisfies the statutory criteria attendant to naturalisation can only be made after an application is received. Every application is considered on its individual merits. 

It is open to any person to make an application for a certificate of naturalisation if and when they are in a position to meet the statutory requirements. Detailed information on Irish Citizenship and Naturalisation, as well as the relevant application forms, is available on the Immigration Service Delivery website at .

Queries in relation to the status of individual immigration cases may be made directly to my Department by e-mail using the Oireachtas Mail facility which has been specifically established for this purpose. This service enables up to date information on such cases to be obtained without the need to seek information by way of the Parliamentary Questions process. The Deputy may consider using the e-mail service except in cases where the response is, in the Deputy’s view, inadequate or too long awaited.
