The constitutional process in Brazil involves both the legislature and the judicial branches of the federal government. President Temer has been appointed for a period of 180 days while the impeachment of President Rousseff is considered by the Brazilian Senate under the chairmanship of the current chief justice. Ireland will continue to monitor the situation via our embassy in Brasilia. We remain firmly of the opinion that the current beleaguered situation in Brazil including a number of investigations that are under way are a matter for the Brazilian authorities.
