Supplementary judgment of Ms. Justice Finlay Geoghegan delivered on the 14 th day of November, 2006.
These proceedings were heard with the application for judicial review in Deborah Olarantimi Bode and Others v. The Minister for Justice, Equality and Law Reform [2006] No. 102 J.R. and the other similar applications referred to in the judgment delivered by me today in the Bode proceedings. The applicants herein challenge the validity of the decision to refuse Mr. O.'s application on IBC/05 on the same grounds and with the same submissions as advanced in the Bode proceedings.
Whilst the factual circumstances of the applicants herein differ from the applicants in the Bode proceedings those differences are not relevant to the submissions made and considered in relation to the alleged invalidity of the decisions taken on the applications on IBC/05 in the Bode judgment.
The first named applicant, Mr. O., is a national of Nigeria and entered the State on 3rd February, 2005 on a visa. In submission this was stated to be a tourist visa, nothing turns on this. Mr. O. then applied for asylum on either 4 th or 8 th February, 2005. Nothing turns on the difference in dates stated by the parties. He states he did so in order to "enter the system".
The second named applicant is the wife of the first named applicant whom she married in Nigeria on 28 th November, 2001. The second named applicant, Mrs. O., has resided continuously in the State since April, 2003.
