I am informed by the Irish Naturalisation and Immigration Service that the person in question made a Family Reunification application on behalf of her son in June 2006 and a decision issued in June 2007 refusing the application.

The legal representative of the person concerned subsequently resubmitted a new application that has been forwarded to the Refugee Applications Commissioner for investigation as required under Section 18 of the Refugee Act 1996.

On completion of the investigation the Commissioner will prepare and forward a report to the Irish Naturalisation and Immigration Service and on receipt of the Commissioner's report the application will be considered further.
