35. Deputy Bernard J. Durkan asked the Tánaiste and Minister for Foreign Affairs if the rights outlined in Article 36 of the Vienna Convention on Consular Relations 1963 apply to naturalised Irish citizens travelling on an Irish passport; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [20406/23]
View answerI can confirm to the Deputy that all Irish citizens, including those who are naturalised Irish citizens, can as a matter of policy avail of consular assistance and services from Irish embassies and consulates abroad.
Irish citizens may also request consular support from any other EU member state in a country where there is no Irish representation, as per the EU Consular Protection Directive.
