Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 17 April 2018
166. Deputy Clare Daly asked the Tánaiste and Minister for Foreign Affairs and Trade the efforts being made to contact the authorities in Northern Ireland to have the missing body parts of a person (details supplied) returned to the family for appropriate burial with the rest of their body; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [15217/18]
View answerI recently met with the family in the case referred to by the Deputy. I subsequently tasked officials in my Department with engaging with the relevant authorities in Northern Ireland in relation to the issue. My Department will keep the family informed as to the progress of these efforts.
As the Deputy will appreciate, this is a private and most difficult matter for the family and direct contact will therefore be maintained with the family as appropriate.
