The application referred to by the Deputy was received in the Irish Embassy in Moscow on 5th May, 2006. The decision of the Visa Officer to refuse this application was taken on 16th May, 2006.

The application was refused because, inter alia and in the view of the visa officer, there were inconsistencies in the account of how the applicant became acquainted with the reference.

Following a re-examination of the case on appeal, the decision to refuse was upheld on 11th August, 2006. As each applicant is entitled to one appeal only, no further review in this matter can be granted; however it is open to the applicant to make a fresh application.
