The visa applications referred to by the Deputy were received in the Visa Office, Dublin on 15 May 2013. Following full consideration, the Visa Officer decided to refuse to grant the visas on 4 October 2013 and the reasons for refusal were set out in the decision letter.

The decision to refuse was appealed on 4 November 2013. A decision on the appeals has been made in these cases and the persons concerned will be notified shortly.

Queries in relation to general immigration matters may be made directly to INIS by e-mail using the Oireachtas Mail facility which has been specifically established for this purpose. This service enables up to date information on such cases to be obtained without the need to seek information by way of the Parliamentary Questions process. The Deputy may consider using the e-mail service except in cases where the response from INIS is, in the Deputy's view, inadequate or too long awaited.
