Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 16 May 2023
139. Deputy Bernard J. Durkan asked the Tánaiste and Minister for Foreign Affairs if consular assistance can be given to the family of a person (details supplied); and if he will make a statement on the matter. [22496/23]
View answerI can confirm to the Deputy that my Department has provided consular assistance and support in this case and stands ready to provide further assistance if required. The relevant Embassy of Ireland has made contact again with the affected family.
I appreciate the anguish and upset of the family members after their sad loss, and know that this has been a very difficult time for those concerned. We can of course continue to engage and support, in the hope that a way forward can be found for the family.
As with all consular cases, the Department does not comment on the specific details of any individual case.
