I refer the Deputy to my answers to his previous Parliamentary Questions. I am informed by the Immigration Division of my Department that the person referred to by the Deputy made an application for Family Reunification 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. Further documentation was submitted subsequently by the person in question and is currently being examined by my Department. My Department will contact the person in question shortly in relation to her application.
