I refer the Deputy to my reply to Question No. 634 of 27 January 2009, in which the position with regard to family reunification was set out in the case of the son of the person concerned. The position with regard to applying for a visa to enter the State remains unchanged from that stated in previous replies.

I refer the Deputy to my answer to his previous Parliamentary Question. I am informed by the Irish Naturalisation and Immigration Service that the person in question made a Family Reunification Application in March 2007. A decision was made on the applicant's Family Reunification application and issued to the applicant's legal representative on 2 September 2008. A letter issued from the Family Reunification Section to the person in question on 21 July 2009 but to date no response has been received.
