The person in question is a refugee who applied for family reunification in respect of her husband. The application was forwarded to the Office of the Refugee Applications Commissioner for investigation as required under section 18 of the Refugee Act 1996. During the course of assessing this application questions arose in relation to the validity of the marriage. This is now the subject of a Garda investigation which is still ongoing. On completion of this investigation a decision on this application will be made.
