I have received correspondence from and on behalf of the persons referred to in the Deputy's question. The persons concerned have instituted judicial review proceedings, challenging a decision to refuse residency, which are ongoing in the High Court. It is not the practice to engage in detailed correspondence on the substance of matters which are the subject of an ongoing court challenge. For the same reason it would not be appropriate for me to comment further on the case.
