PQ 156
156. Deputy Paul J. Connaughton asked the Minister for Justice and Equality his views on whether it is fair that applicants for naturalisation certificates, who have paid a non-refundable application fee of €175 are asked to pay an acceptance fee of €950 when this fee is not mentioned at any stage in the application form whereas there are 15 references to the non-refundable application fee; his view on whether this is unfair to applicants who are unaware of the acceptance fee, which is only mentioned on the website; if there are plans to amend the application form so that applicants are fully informed of the existence of the acceptance fee; if there are many cases whereby persons are granted the naturalisation certificate but fail to take it up because of the acceptance fee; and if he will make a statement on the matter.
