222 Deputy Jim O’Keeffe asked the Minister for Justice, Equality and Law Reform if his attention has been drawn to the fact that applications for naturalisation are being rejected on the basis that applicants can not produce the proof of reckonable residency in the State required by his Department and in particular for the one year immediately prior to the application; if his further attention has been drawn to the fact that in many instances the reason the required proof can not be produced is due to delays on the part of the State in the issue of work permits leading on to delays in the stamping of visas on the passports of applicants; his views on whether it is unacceptable that applicants should be penalised as a consequence; if he will put in place a system which takes into account the reality of bureaucratic delays; and if he will make a statement on the matter.
