Indian national was refused visa after not showing sufficient skill in cooking tandoori chicken

The man, who has a permit to work in a restaurant in Ireland, has succeeded in his challenge to the visa refusal

The man had said he had only a basic knowledge of this type of tandoori chicken cooking.

An Indian national with a permit to work in a restaurant in Ireland has succeeded in his High Court challenge to a decision refusing his visa application on the basis he did not demonstrate sufficient skills in tandoori chicken cooking.

Ms Justice Marguerite Bolger found the Minister for Justice’s decision was legally flawed for various reasons, including that it unfairly claimed the man was unable to provide basic recipes for dishes he would be required to cook in Ireland.
