I am informed that the wallet of the person mentioned was lost in France June in 2009. The wallet was subsequently handed in to the French police and forwarded to the Embassy in Paris so that it could be returned to the owner. The Embassy forwarded the wallet to the Department of Foreign Affairs HQ in Dublin but, most regrettably, it would appear that it was mislaid sometime after receipt in Dublin. The owner of the wallet was informed and has been offered the apologies of my Department. I would invite the person in question to contact my Department with a view to following up on this matter.
