View answerThe Embassy of Ireland in Madrid and the Honorary Consulate in Malaga provided consular assistance to the family of the named individual in the days following his death. The person named by the Deputy died on 14 April 2014 and his remains were repatriated to Ireland on 17 April. A consular official at our Embassy has spoken to the hospital where the person died and has been provided with information about the procedure to request his medical records. This information has been passed to his wife. Our Embassy will assist with the process by sending the hospital a covering letter with the request.
