The person in question made a visa application in February, 2004. 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. In particular it was felt that the applicant had not displayed sufficient evidence of her obligations to return home following the proposed visit. There were also inconsistencies in the visa application. The applicant indicated that she would not be accompanied by members of their family to Ireland. It transpires, however, that the applicant's brother had also made a visa application in which he indicated he would be travelling with the applicant. It is open to the applicant to appeal against the refusal by writing to the visa appeals officer in my Department.
