18. To ask the Tánaiste and Minister for Foreign Affairs and Trade if he will make inquiries or obtain information from the Spanish Government on an Irish man (details supplied) who died during the Spanish Civil War in view of the fact that the Spanish authorities are now considering excavating battle sites from this period; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

I have asked the Irish Embassy in Madrid to make contact with the relevant Spanish authorities to establish the position in relation to the matter which the Deputy has raised.

The Embassy would of course be happy to speak to the family of the Irish man in question should they wish to make direct contact.
