High Court upholds the Minister's decision to refuse a Long Stay Join Family Visa for a Kenyan national seeking to join his Irish naturalised spouse, citing insufficient evidence of a genuine ongoing marital relationship and failure to meet financial requirements. The Court of Appeal had previously affirmed the Minister's right to disregard untranslated communications between the applicants, which lacked probative value. The High Court found no error in the Minister's assessment of the couple's rights under Article 41 of the Constitution and Article 8 of the European Convention on Human Rights. The decision was also deemed proportionate, considering the potential burden on public resources and the integrity of the immigration system.
