I refer the Deputy to Parliamentary Question No. 208 put down for answer on the 21st February 2008. I am informed by the Immigration Division of my Department that the person in question made a Family Reunification application in January 2006. The application was forwarded to the Refugee Applications Commissioner for investigation as required under Section 18 of the Refugee Act 1996. This investigation has been completed and the Commissioner has forwarded a report to my Department. The Immigration Division will shortly contact the person in question to request documentation and on receipt of same the application will be processed further.
