Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 7 May 2013
120. Deputy Clare Daly asked the Tánaiste and Minister for Foreign Affairs and Trade if he will organise for the Irish Embassy in Oslo, Norway, to make contact with a person (details supplied) an Irish citizen in order to establish information regarding their well-being. [21562/13]
Amharc ar fhreagraAs I’m sure the Deputy will appreciate, officials from my Department have neither the qualifications, nor the authority in a foreign jurisdiction, to carry out assessments into the wellbeing of children who may also be citizens of that country. If the father of the person named by the Deputy has concerns for her welfare, he should report these concerns to An Garda Siochána (and to Irish Social Workers if An Garda Siochána deem this appropriate) so that investigations can be carried out through appropriate channels.
