According to the records of my Department a certificate, known as An Ceard-Teastas Gaeilge, was issued by post to the person concerned on 29 October 1976.
Arising from subsequent correspondence between that person's solicitors and the office of the Chief State Solicitor, it was agreed that a second certificate would be issued. I am informed that the second certificate was issued from the office of the Chief State Solicitor on 11 January 1985 to the solicitors acting for the person concerned.
