I refer the Deputy to my previous answer to his Parliamentary Question No: 727 of 27th January 2009.

I am informed by the Irish Naturalisation and Immigration Service of my Department that a Family Reunification application was received in April 2007.

The application was forwarded to the Refugee Applications Commissioner for investigation as required under Section 18 of the Refugee Act 1996. The investigation has been completed and the Commissioner has forwarded a report to my Department.

A decision to approve this application has recently issued to the person in question.
