The person referred to by the Deputy has sought to enter the State to be reunited with family members. She had previously been granted a visit visa and adhered fully to the conditions of that visa. However, the reasons to enter the State on this occasion did not meet with current criteria and the application was refused. The person in question may of course appeal this decision and any supporting documentation will be fully examined by my Department. All appeals must be received within two months of the decision to refuse.
