I propose to take Questions Nos. 176 to 179, inclusive, together.

I wish to refer the Deputy to my reply to Question No. 515 of the 8 of November 2005. As I stated, there was only one reason for refusal, namely the inconsistencies in the information supplied. These inconsistencies were clearly pointed out by e-mail to the spouse of the applicant on 28 October 2005.

As stated previously, credibility is central to the visa determination process, and the onus is on the applicant to provide my Department with accurate information. I also advised the Deputy that the applicant had leave to appeal the decision within two months of the refusal date and this remains the position. My Department has received no such appeal to date.
