Dáil Éireann Debate, Wednesday - 26 September 2007
962 Deputy Bernard J. Durkan asked the Minister for Justice, Equality and Law Reform further to his reply to Parliamentary Questions Nos. 697 and 699 of 26 June 2007, the residency status in the case of a person (details supplied); if further consideration is being given in respect of family reunification and the return of children’s passports; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [20327/07]
Amharc ar fhreagraI understand that the person in question submitted the passports to the Immigration Division of my Department in support of their family for family re-unification. When some discrepancies came to light, these passports were forwarded to the Garda National Immigration Bureau for investigation. The person concerned and her husband have failed to account for these discrepancies and the Garda National Immigration Bureau maintains possession of the passports.
