As the Deputy will be aware, my Department offered all possible assistance in this case, through our Embassy in Paris and the Consular Assistance section in Dublin, during this person's detention in France. This person and his family have been advised on several occasions over the past number of months of the necessity to engage the services of a lawyer in order to follow up on the issues outlined. The Embassy of Ireland in Paris has provided a list of English-speaking lawyers to this person's family. The Deputy may also wish to note that this person was released from custody in France in November 2010.
