There is no current visa application for the said person with my Department. The person in question was refused a holiday visa by my Department on 22 July 2004. No appeal of this decision was received.

The period allowed to make an appeal is now passed. If the person concerned still wishes to travel to Ireland a fresh application for a visa must be lodged.
