I refer the Deputy to my previous answer to Parliamentary Question No. 241 put down for answer on 24th April 2008

The person in question made a Family Reunification application in February 2006.

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.
