I can confirm to the Deputy that my Department provides all possible consular advice and support to Irish citizens in distress overseas, where requested.

As the Deputy will be aware, our Embassies and Consulates abroad are precluded from directly intervening in judicial processes of another jurisdiction, including on matters relating to visa and immigration processes. However, officials at our Embassy in Ottawa stand ready to provide all possible consular assistance to the citizen if and when requested. I would therefore encourage the citizen in question to contact officials at our Embassy if he requires assistance.
