Written Answers. - Visa Applications.
The application in question was refused because it had not been established, on the basis of the documentation supplied, that the applicant's visit would be genuinely short-term in nature. The applicant's reference in Ireland was advised in writing of the reason for refusal.
An appeal has since been received and officials from my Department have arranged to meet with the applicant's reference in Ireland in order to discuss the additional information which has been supplied. I expect that a decision will be arrived at shortly thereafter and I will advise the Deputy of the outcome.
