Sir, – With reference to a letter regarding a group of visa applicants from Laos (“Students’ visas refused”, Seamus O’Grady, July 10th), I am happy to say that their visas have now been approved by INIS (Irish Naturalisation Immigration Service). Once outstanding documentation was furnished, the staff at INIS worked around the clock to ensure that this small group will now visit our language school in Cahersiveen.
I would like to thank everyone involved in this process, including your own newspaper, for highlighting the situation. – Yours, etc,
