Written answers

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

With regard to the visa application in question, the position remains the same as in my reply to the Deputy's Parliamentary Question No. 110 of 29 April 2004. With regard to the two children in question, visas were approved on 23 March 2004 to enable the children come to the State to reside with their parents.
