As the Deputy indicated, this person reported his previous passport and Irish visa lost. My Department is not aware of any new application for an Irish visa being made by the applicant.

Visa applications made in Pakistan are lodged by applicants with the Honorary Consul in Karachi and are normally referred to the Department of Justice, Equality and Law Reform for decision. I am informed that no record has been found in that Department of a current visa application in this case.
