I am informed by the Immigration Division of my Department that the application for Family Reunification for the spouse of the person in question was refused on the 24th May 2007. I understand that this application was refused on the basis that the marriage does not appear to be valid under Irish Law. The applicant was informed that a review would be made on foot of a declaration form the Courts pursuant to Section 29 of the Family Law Act, 1995, to the effect that the marriage in question is entitled to recognition in this jurisdiction.

The person in question submitted an application for renewal of their permission to remain in the State on the basis of their parentage of an Irish born child under the terms of the IBC/05 scheme, on 8th May, 2007. On 19th June, 2007 the individual concerned furnished a letter of explanation to my Department regarding their lost expired passport and a copy of a Garda report relating to same. These documents are now on file. A request for further documentation was issued by Officials from my Department on 19th June, 2007. The application will be considered further on receipt of the requested documentation.
