193. To ask the Minister for Foreign Affairs and Trade his views on the refusal of the Embassy of Ireland to the United Kingdom to accept a letter of protest on 11 February 2015, regarding the way protestors in the Tallaght area of Dublin were being arrested, while there was a Russia Today camera crew present; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

I can advise the Deputy that the Embassy of Ireland in London did accept a letter of protest on the afternoon 11 February, having agreed to do so by telephone earlier that day.

The Embassy also brought the letter to the attention of the Department in Dublin.
