On 22 April I wrote to the Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of Korea, Mr. Yun Byung-Se, to convey, on behalf of the Government and people of Ireland, our deepest sympathy to the injured and bereaved following the sinking of the Sewol ferry on 16 April. I also emphasised that the people of Ireland had been deeply moved by reports of those affected by the disaster, and by the heroic rescue efforts made.
