As the Deputy will appreciate, it would not be appropriate for me to comment on individual cases that may be or have been the subject of an application under the UN Convention on the Recovery Abroad of Maintenance.

Such applications are facilitated by the Irish Central Authority for International Maintenance Recovery which is located in my Department. I understand that the individual involved in this matter is in contact with the Central Authority and that the Authority is awaiting a response from the requested Central Authority.

I can assure the Deputy that the Central Authority will continue to actively pursue this matter and will keep the applicant informed of the progress of her application.
