I refer the Deputy to my previous answers to his Parliamentary Questions on the person in question, No. 209 of 21 February 2008, No. 232 of Thursday 6th March 2008, No. 513 of 17th April 2008, No.147 of Thursday 29th May 2008, No.106 of 4th December 2008, and No. 316 of 16th December 2008. I am informed by the Immigration Division of my Department that an application for family reunification from the person referred to by the Deputy was processed in July 2006 and that a decision was made refusing the application. I am also informed that subsequently the person concerned submitted additional documentation relating to their application. Following the receipt of the additional material, the Family Reunification Unit has carried out a review of the case and has informed the person in question of the outcome.

There is currently no application pending in my Department for residency in the case of the person whose details were supplied. If an application for asylum has been made by the person concerned the Deputy will of course be aware that it is not the practice to comment on asylum applications that are pending.

The person concerned has been granted temporary Leave to Remain in the State for a three year period, to 26 June 2011. This decision was conveyed to the person concerned by letter dated 26 June 2008. There is no record in my Department of the person concerned having submitted an application for family reunification. The Deputy might wish to note that the position in the State of the person concerned is not such as would confer any statutory entitlement under family reunification provisions.
