My Department is aware of the case of this Irish citizen, including with regard to recent developments. The Consulate General in Edinburgh has followed up on this matter and is ready to offer all appropriate assistance. As is the case with any imprisoned Irish citizen abroad, any concern related to ill-treatment is treated with the utmost seriousness.
