The Department of Foreign Affairs is not aware of any current application for an Irish visa being made by the applicant mentioned by the Deputy. Visa applications made in Zimbabwe are lodged by applicants with the Irish Embassy in Pretoria, South Africa 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, or in the Embassy, of receiving a current application in respect of the person concerned.
