Leo Varadkar (Dublin West, Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source

I am familiar with the case of Jean Tighe. I really feel for the family concerned. I know that the Tánaiste and Minister for Foreign Affairs is aware of this case and has taken action on it. I know our embassy and our staff on the ground in Lisbon are doing all they can. If it is of any use, I will meet the Prime Minister of Portugal in a few weeks' time, around middle or late March. I am not sure whether it will be the new prime minister or the existing one. If the Deputy wants to give me a short letter or something like that, I will take the opportunity to pass it on to him then.
