I wish to advise the Deputy that neither the Department of Foreign Affairs in Dublin, nor the Irish Embassy in Paris, was contacted about this incident by the person mentioned by him.

I note that the individual concerned has brought the matter to the attention of the French Embassy in Dublin. I understand that the French Embassy is having the complaint investigated, and will issue a reply in the matter in due course.

I can assure the Deputy that, should the person mentioned now request our assistance, the Department would of course pursue this matter on his behalf through our Embassy in Paris.
