Jimmy Deenihan

Question:

897 Mr. Deenihan asked the Minister for Justice, Equality and Law Reform if a visa will be granted to a person (details supplied) in London to visit his pregnant wife; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [1774/04]

Written answers

Minister for Justice, Equality and Law Reform (Mr. McDowell)

The visa application in question was refused because the applicant provided insufficient information and supporting documentation with the application. In particular, he failed to disclose the details of the purpose or duration of his intended visit or show any evidence of how he intended to maintain himself during his proposed visit. It is open to the applicant to appeal against the refusal of the visa application by writing to the visa appeals officer in my Department, together with additional supporting documentation.
