I refer the Deputy to my previous replies to Parliamentary Question Nos: 1027 put down for answer on 26th September 2007, No: 208 put down for answer on 21st February 2008 and No: 188 put down for answer on 28th 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 has recently issued a decision to the husband of the person in question and has requested further information regarding the additional subjects of the application.
