153. Deputy Bernard J. Durkan asked the Minister for Justice and Equality if the certificate of naturalisation issued in the case of a person (details supplied) in County Westmeath can be amended to reflect their full name; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [19830/14]

The name that is printed on a certificate of naturalisation is taken from the name under which a person has applied for a certificate of naturalisation as verified by identity documentation submitted with the application.

On that basis, I do not deem it appropriate to issue an amended certificate of naturalisation to the person referred to by the Deputy. However, if the person concerned provides full details in relation to the matter to the Citizenship Division of the Irish Naturalisation and Immigration Service, then further consideration will be given to the request.
