A core objective of the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade is the provision of high-quality consular assistance to Irish citizens who find themselves in difficulty abroad. This assistance is delivered through the Department’s network of diplomatic missions abroad and through the Department’s Consular Division based in Dublin. The individual citizen concerned was in touch with the relevant Embassy for the first time last week and made them aware of the case. A Consular officer from the Embassy has made contact with the citizen and I would like to assure the Deputy that all appropriate consular assistance is being provided by this Department to the individual concerned.
