I am informed by the Irish Naturalisation and Immigration Service (INIS) that the person referred to by the Deputy made an application for Family Reunification in October 2008. The application was forwarded to the Refugee Applications Commissioner for investigation as required under Section 18 of the Refugee Act 1996. This investigation has been completed and the Commissioner has forwarded a report to my Department. My Department has recently contacted the legal representative of the person in question requesting further documentation.
