The application referred to by the Deputy was received in the Visa Office, Dublin on 3 April 2008. It was refused by the Visa Officer on 9 April 2008 for the following reasons:

1. The financial evidence provided was deemed insufficient;

2. The Visa Officer was not satisfied that the conditions of the visa would be observed and considered that the applicant may overstay following the proposed visit.

The decision of the Visa Officer may be appealed within two months of the date of decision, in this case before 9 June 2008. Guidelines on making an appeal can be found on the website of the Irish Naturalisation and Immigration Service at www.inis.gov.ie
