The application referred to by the Deputy was received in the Visa Office, Dublin on 25 September 2007. It was refused by the Visa Officer on 22 October 2007 for a number of reasons:

1.There was insufficient documentation submitted in support of the application

2.There was no clear link to the reference shown

3.There were no social, economic or professional ties in the home country shown

4.It was the opinion of the Visa Officer that the applicant may not observe the conditions of the visa.

The decision of the Visa Officer may be appealed within two months of the date of decision, in this case before 22 December 2007. Guidelines on making an appeal can be found on the website of the Irish Naturalisation and Immigration Service at www.inis.gov.ie.
