39 Deputy Ruairí Quinn asked the Taoiseach and Minister for Foreign Affairs if Irish nationals and the Irish Embassy were impacted by the recent flooding in South Africa which struck Johannesburg and Pretoria. [2878/11]
View answerI am pleased to inform the Deputy that our Embassy in Pretoria has received no requests from Irish citizens affected by the tragic flooding in South Africa, and is not aware of any Irish citizens facing serious difficulties due to it. The Embassy is located in a part of Pretoria that was not impacted by the flooding. Our Embassy has been asked to continue to monitor closely the situation and to provide all possible support to any Irish nationals that may require assistance.
