The applications referred to by the Deputy were received in the Visa Office, Dublin, on 24 October 2007. They were refused by the Visa Officer on 6 November 2007 for a number of reasons:

1.Financial evidence provided was deemed insufficient or incomplete

2.Obligations to return home were not deemed sufficient

3.It was the opinion of the Visa Officer that the applicants 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. Guidelines on making an appeal can be found on the website of the Irish Naturalisation and Immigration Service, www.inis.gov.ie.
