I am informed by the Immigration Division of my Department that the person in question made a Family Reunification application on behalf of his sister in July 2005.

The application was forwarded to the Refugee Applications Commissioner for investigation as required under Section 18 of the Refugee Act 1996. This investigation was completed and the Commissioner forwarded a report to my Department.

Following consideration of this report, the application was refused on the 17th January 2007 and as advised to the Deputy in response to Parliamentary Question 474, the person concerned was informed of same.
