My Department has no record of a current visa application in respect of the person in question. I can confirm receipt of an application in respect of the person in question by the Honorary Consul in Kiev on 30th May, 2006. This single journey visa was issued. In general, multiple-entry visas may be issued when an applicant has demonstrated a compliant travel history to Ireland in the recent past. Any future applications by the person in question will be considered in that context. Full details of the documentation required for all visa applications can be found on my Department's website (www.justice.ie).
