The applications referred to by the Deputy were received in the Visa Office, Dublin, on 18 October 2007 and are currently pending examination by a Visa Officer. Visa applications are processed as speedily as possible having regard to the numbers on hand and the resources available to process them. As a general rule, the process takes four to six week from receipt in the Visa Office. At present, however, applications are being processed within a shorter timeframe and I would expect an outcome in this case within the next two weeks.
