I am informed by the Immigration Division of my Department that the person concerned made an application for a residence card as the non EU family member of an EU citizen. The person referred to by the Deputy was informed of the decision to refuse this application on 2 December, 2010. A request by the applicant for a review of this decision was received on 17 December, 2010. All applications for review are dealt with in chronological order of date of receipt and the decision to refuse this application remains under review. Each application for review is examined on its own merits and a decision on the outcome of this review will be communicated as soon as possible.

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.
