To ask the Tánaiste and Minister for Foreign Affairs and Trade if he has made any inquiries in relation to the murder of New Zealand - Irish photojournalist Trent Keegan in Nairobi in 2008; and if his attention has been drawn to the allegations that have been made that the murder was linked to a story that he was investigating at the time.

Notwithstanding his connections with Ireland, Mr. Trent Keegan was a citizen of New Zealand travelling on a New Zealand passport. While I am aware that the circumstances of Mr. Keegan’s death in Kenya remain unresolved, Ireland has no consular role or standing in this matter. I understand that the Honorary Consul of New Zealand has provided consular assistance to Mr. Keegan’s family.
