I thank the Minister of State. The answer confirms what I had been told. I had understood it was Mumbai, but the office is in New Delhi. I understand some of the processing of these applications was transferred back to Dublin for a period of time. It is a problem because in the particular family referred to, both adults are highly skilled and work in the medical services in Ireland. They have a young family with one party living in Dublin and the other in Cork. They were looking for help from their own family and that visa was refused. That is what I do not understand. My request is to put people with medical qualifications in a particular category. We should try to expedite the process.
