The applications referred to by the Deputy were received in the Visa Office, Dublin on 21 November 2007. They were refused by the Visa Officer on 29 November 2007 for a number of reasons:
1.The immigration history of the applicants
2.Obligations to return to home country 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, in this case before 29 January 2008. Guidelines on making an appeal can be found of the website of the Irish naturalisation and Immigration Service at www.inis.gov.ie
