Court of Appeal allows appeal against the High Court's decision to quash the Minister's refusal to permit a person to enter and reside in the State, on the grounds that the Minister was not obliged to consider the application on any basis other than the one presented—that the individual was the applicant's biological granddaughter—a claim that was not supported by DNA evidence.
