Question:491 Mr. McGuinness asked the Minister for Justice, Equality and Law Reform if holiday visas will be issued to persons (details supplied); and if an early decision will be made in each case. [7671/02]
I propose to take Questions Nos. 490 and 491 together.
The visa applications in question have been refused because it was not established, on the basis of the documentation supplied to my Department, that the applicants would observe the conditions of a holiday visa. In particular it was felt that the applicants had not displayed sufficient evidence of their obligations to return home following their proposed visit.
It is open to both applicants to appeal against the refusal of a visa by writing to the visa appeals officer in my Department together with additional supporting documentation.
