I am fully aware of the very strong ties this individual has to Ireland. As the person is a German citizen and was travelling on that passport at the time of the incident, consular assistance is being provided by the German Embassy - and has been since 2018.

My Department is therefore limited in the extent to which consular assistance can be provided to this individual. The relevant Irish Embassy however does retain a connection to the case, has been in contact with the individual, and is monitoring developments on an ongoing basis.
