Charles Flanagan (Laois-Offaly, Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source

I can assure Deputy Flanagan that I have requested the Head of Council to keep me fully informed and briefed on any discussions or developments in this case. I also can assure him that the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade has provided extensive and continuous assistance to the family since Amy's disappearance in 2008. The Department has also liaised consistently with the appropriate Spanish authorities.

I take this opportunity to again assure the Deputy and the House that the Department will continue to provide all possible assistance to the family of the individual concerned.
