414 Mr. G. Mitchell asked the Minister for Justice, Equality and Law Reform if he will consider an appeal to allow a person, details supplied, in Dublin 8 to undertake a course of studies here by allowing a visa for this purpose in the circumstances of the case. [23226/04]

Written answers

The person in question, a 23 year old non-EEA national, made a visa application in July 2004 for the stated purpose of attending a one-year course of studies. The application was refused because it had not been established, on the basis of the documentation supplied to my Department, that the applicant would observe the conditions of the visa applied for. In particular, it was felt that the applicant had not displayed evidence of any obligations to return home following her proposed course of study. It was noted that although the applicant stated on her visa application form that she is a student in her home country, no documentation was submitted to support this claim.

My Department does not have any record of having received an appeal in relation to this visa application. However, It is open to the applicant to appeal against the refusal by writing to the visa appeals officer in my Department, enclosing additional supporting documentation.
