I am aware of the case to which the Deputy refers.

The Deputy will understand that I cannot go into details about options under consideration and contacts ongoing outside of Government in relation to this case. These are very sensitive matters in a zone of active conflict. Speculating about options in public is not in the interests of Irish citizens, or of the partner organisations with whom officials are in contact.
