Seán Crowe

Question:

357. Deputy Seán Crowe asked the Minister for Foreign Affairs and Trade if his attention has been drawn to the fact that a person (details supplied) who is being detained in York County Prison, Pennsylvania, USA, will be deported; and if his Department is providing them with consular assistance. [36875/16]

Written answers

Minister for Foreign Affairs and Trade

My Department is aware of the case to which the Deputy refers. However, the Deputy will appreciate that, where we do not have the consent of the individual concerned, it is not the Department’s practice to share information about a consular case with a third party or to place it on the public record.
