Dáil Éireann Debate, Wednesday - 20 September 2023
703. Deputy Niall Collins asked the Minister for Justice if a decision (details supplied) will be reconsidered, given that the reasons cited for refusal are incorrect; if she will confirm with this Deputy that this case is being reviewed as a result of the information being furnished; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [40314/23]
View answerI can advise the Deputy that the person referred to made an application to the Afghan Admission Programme on 10 February 2022.
In order to be considered eligible for the Programme each Proposer and Beneficiary must meet certain eligibility criteria, which are set out in the Guidance for Submission of an Application document, posted on the Afghan Admission Programme Information Page on the Department’s website. Upon examination, it was found that the application did not meet the criteria for the scheme and it was subsequently deemed to be ineligible on that basis. The reasons for this decision were set out in a letter issued to the Proposer. The Department is satisfied that the grounds cited for refusal are valid.
