The Deputy refers to two non-EEA nationals in his parliamentary question and states that the first person in question has applied for naturalisation and seeks to be joined in the State by his wife. My Department's records show that this person received a multi-journey, D-type residence visa in June 2004.

Unfortunately, the Deputy omitted to supply a visa application reference number in respect of the second person referred to. Consequently, it has not been possible to identify any application for the wife of the person in question. A search based on the name of the applicant as supplied by the Deputy did not yield any probable matches. If the Deputy would care to contact my Department with the correct visa application number, the status of the application will be determined.
