Tánaiste and Minister for Foreign Affairs and Trade

I am aware of the case to which the Deputy refers. The Irish Embassy in Tel Aviv has carefully monitored this case, and has been in contact with the person in question on a number of occasions. The Embassy is handling the case in accordance with the wishes expressed by the person.
