I am informed by the Irish Naturalisation and Immigration Service (INIS) that the person referred to by the Deputy made a Family Reunification Application in respect of her husband in July 2009.

The application was forwarded to the Office of the Refugee Applications Commissioner as required under Section 18 of the Refugee Act 1996.

The investigation was completed in November 2009 and a report was forwarded to INIS.

There are currently some issues that need to be resolved with regard to the application and INIS will be in contact with the person referred to in due course.
