I am aware of the Irish citizens referred to who were studying in Sumy, Ukraine. My Department has been and remains in direct contact with the citizens concerned. The Deputy can also be assured that we are engaging with the Ukrainian Government and other partners on these and other consular cases.

I am glad that two Irish students based in Sumy have now exited Ukraine safely - and we remain in regular contact with others citizens who are planning departure from the country if circumstances allow.

As with all consular cases, it would not be appropriate to discuss the specific details of these cases.
