The visa application referred to by the Deputy was received in the Visa Office, Dublin on 7 January 2009. Following consideration by a Visa Officer it was refused on 12 January 2009 for the following reasons: the evidence of finances shown was deemed insufficient; there was insufficient documentation submitted in support of the application; The obligations to return to the home country were not deemed sufficient; it was the opinion of the Visa Officer that the applicant may not observe the conditions of the visa if granted. The decision of the Visa Officer may be appealed within two months of the date of decision, in this case before 12 March 2009. Guidelines on making an appeal can be found on the website of the Irish Naturalisation and Immigration Service at www.inis.gov.ie
