I am informed by the Immigration Division of my Department that person concerned made an application for residence in the State based on marriage to a Portuguese national on 25 November, 2009. The person concerned was informed of the decision to refuse the application and the basis for this decision by letter of 19 May, 2010. A request by the applicant and her spouse for a Review of this decision was received on 4 June, 2010. All applications for Review are dealt with in chronological order of date of receipt of the application for Review.

I should remind the Deputy that queries in relation to the status of individual Immigration cases may be made direct to INIS by Email using the Oireachtas Mail facility which has been specifically established for this purpose. The service enables up-to-date information on such cases to be obtained without the need to seek this information through the more administratively expensive Parliamentary Questions process.

There is currently no application pending in my Department for residency in the case of the person whose details were supplied. If an application for asylum has been made by the person concerned the Deputy will of course be aware that it is not the practice to comment on asylum applications that are pending.
