The first person concerned has permission to remain in the State which is due to expire on the 17th April, 2008 and is therefore advised to attend the Garda National Immigration Bureau, 13/14 Burgh Quay, Dublin 2, in order to have that permission extended.

The second person concerned has no legal status. Consequently, he will shortly be invited to submit fresh representations, for consideration under Section 3 of the Immigration Act, 1999, as to why he should be given temporary permission to remain in the State rather than return to his country of origin. The person will be informed of the outcome of this consideration in due course.

I refer the Deputy to my previous answer to Parliamentary Question No. 257 of 5 July 2007.

I am informed by the Immigration Division of my Department that Family Reunification applications from the person in question were refused on 26 June 2007 and a letter outlining the reasons for the refusals issued on the same date. There is no provision under Section 18 of the Refugee Act 1996 to appeal the decision of an application for Family Reunification.
