Question 563: To ask the Minister for Justice, Equality and Law Reform when a multi-entry visa will be arranged for a person (details supplied); and if he will make a statement on the matter. [14085/08]

It is not the general practice of the Visa Office to issue multiple journey visas unless a compliant travel history to Ireland in the recent past has been shown. In that context, a Visa Officer would normally expect to be satisfied that the conditions of at least two previous visas had been observed. Two single journey visas have been approved for the person concerned recently. There is, however, no record of a current application.

There is no record of current applications for visas in my Department in respect of the persons referred to. The people concerned should make applications to the Irish Embassy in Ankara, Turkey. Comprehensive details of the types of visa, the procedures and the documents required are available on the website of the Irish Naturalisation and Immigration Service — www.inis.gov.ie.

Questions relating to work permits are a matter for the Work Regulations Division of the Department of Enterprise, Trade and Employment. A reply to the Deputy's representations on this matter will be issued in the near future.
