Question 519: To ask the Minister for Justice, Equality and Law Reform if he will review the case of a person (details supplied) in County Westmeath who seeks to have their spouse re-united with them here; if his attention has been drawn to the fact that this person has been married for over six months and that a special appeal was made on their behalf approximately six weeks ago; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

I refer the Deputy to my answer to Parliamentary Question 565 of the 23rd October, in which I stated the reason why a visa had not been approved in this case. No appeal was received within the normal two-month timeframe. In all the circumstances of the case, however, an appeal will be considered at this stage on an exceptional basis. It should be addressed to the Visa Appeals Officer and the applicant should ensure that the reason the visa was not approved at first instance is comprehensively addressed.
