I am aware of this case. As in all cases where Irish citizens are in distress or danger overseas, my  Department continues to provide consular advice and assistance as appropriate. We are carefully monitoring the situation, and are engaging with our Embassies in the region and with reliable international partners.  Given the particularly volatile and complex circumstances, it would not be helpful to comment further, including on any particular plans that may or may not be under consideration.
