I refer the Deputy to my answer to his previous Parliamentary Question.

I am informed by the Immigration Division of my Department that the person in question was issued with a decision on his Family Reunification application in January 2003.

The person in question requested a review of his decision and the application was re-examined under section 18 of the Refugee Act and a decision issued to the person in question on 6th October 2008.

I can inform the Deputy that the person's case is the subject of Judicial Review proceedings, and is due for mention in the High Court on 16 October, 2008. When these proceedings have been concluded the person's case will be assessed by the relevant officials in my Department, and the person concerned will be informed of any decisions made. It would not be appropriate for me to comment on the matter further while legal proceedings are ongoing.
