View answerMy position regarding the visa application in question is as outlined in my reply to Parliamentary Question Number 369 of 18 May 2004. I am not aware of any exceptional circumstances over and above that of other persons in a similar situation which would warrant a reconsideration of the case. The Deputy will note from my reply of 18 May 2004 that both parents of the person in question abused the Irish visa system for the purpose of gaining entry to the State.
