I can confirm that my Department is aware of and has engaged on this case, which was also raised by the Deputy in January of this year.

The Embassy of Ireland in Berne, Switzerland, which is also accredited to Algeria, has engaged with the named person in relation to obtaining a passport. In addition, my Department's Consular Assistance Unit has been in direct contact with the named person's family in Ireland in relation to the situation and stands ready to provide further support as required, upon request. The Unit can be contacted directly on (01) 4082527.

As with all consular cases, I cannot comment on the specific details of the case.
