I am informed by the Immigration Division of my Department that the person in question made a Family Reunification application in April 2005. The application was forwarded to the Refugee Applications Commissioner for investigation as required under Section 18 of the Refugee Act 1996. This investigation is completed and the Commissioner has forwarded a report to my Department.

During the course of processing this application, questions arose in relation to the authenticity of documentation submitted. Documentation was forwarded to the Garda Technical Bureau for further investigation. The report of these investigations was received by the Family Reunification section on the 5th February 2007. This report will be considered by my Department and a decision will issue in due course.
