View answerI am informed by the Immigration Division of my Department that the person concerned made an application for residence in the State based on his marriage to a British national on 30 January 2009. The person referred to by the Deputy was informed of the decision to refuse his application on 7 July 2009. A request by the applicant and his spouse for a review of this decision was received on 8 September 2009. All applications for review are dealt with in chronological order of date of receipt and the decision to refuse this application remains under review.
