Paul Kehoe (Wexford, Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source
Senator O'Loughlin raised the issue of people living abroad and survivors living in Australia, Canada and other countries. Have the embassies or the Department of Foreign Affairs been of assistance, or can they be of assistance, to the witnesses' organisations to spread the net a little wider, such as in advertising in Irish newspapers in the likes of Australia and Canada? I am not saying everybody buys such newspapers, but what about Facebook or whatever else? There are many different ways and means of spreading the net and reaching out to survivors. Has Ms McDonnell Byrne been in contact with embassies or the Department of Foreign Affairs-----
