High Court quashes the Minister for Justice's decisions to refuse naturalisation certificates to two applicants on the grounds that their residency prior to the grant of residence permission was not reckonable, the court finding that the Minister erred in law by not counting the period during which the applicants' residence applications were under consideration as part of the reckonable residence necessary for naturalisation under statute; and their presence in the State during the application process was lawful and should be considered reckonable residence for the purpose of their naturalisation applications.
