The persons in question made an application for permission to remain in the State on the basis of family dependency in December 2005. An initial request for documentation issued in February 2006 which was returned by An Post as the persons were not residing at the given address. A second request issued in August 2006 and although some documentation was received in August 2006, it was insufficient to finalise the applications.

A third request for documentation issued in October 2006 and again the documentation received was insufficient to finalise the applications. A final request to give the persons in question one last opportunity to provide the specific documentation required issued on 5 April 2007. To date, no response has been received in respect of this correspondence. A decision on their applications will be made shortly.
