I refer the Deputy to my Reply to Parliamentary Question No. 160 of 19 June 2008. It is open to all non-nationals who are resident outside the State, and who are visa required to apply to their nearest Irish Embassy or Consulate for the appropriate visa. Each visa application is considered on its individual merits the onus resting with the applicant to satisfy the Visa Officer as to why the visa should be granted.

Comprehensive information when making a visa application is available on the website of the Irish Naturalisation and Immigration Service www.inis.gov.ie
