I refer the Deputy to my previous answers to Question No. 317 put down for answer on 31 January 2007 and Question No. 167 put down for answer on 27 September 2007. I am informed by the Immigration Division of my Department that the review of this application was completed and the person in question was notified that the original decision was upheld. A new Family Reunification Application was received from the person in question in December 2007 and is currently with the Office of the Refugee Applications Commissioner.

The person in question made an application for Family Reunification in December 2005. The application was forwarded to the Refugee Applications Commissioner for investigation as required under Section 18 of the Refugee Act 1996. This investigation is completed and the Commissioner has forwarded a report to my Department. This application will be considered by my Department and a decision will issue in due course.
