Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 26 July 2022
994. Deputy Eoin Ó Broin asked the Minister for Foreign Affairs if his attention has been drawn to an Irish citizen (details supplied) being wrongly detained in Sofia, Bulgaria; and if so, the measures that the Government is taking to secure their release. [41717/22]
Amharc ar fhreagraI am pleased that the referenced consular matter was resolved and that the citizen returned to Ireland. The Embassies of Ireland in Bulgaria and Romania were actively engaged on the issues that unfortunately arose and provided consular assistance to the citizen. The Embassy of Ireland in Bulgaria is following up on matters arising more generally with the relevant authorities.
