My Department is aware of the presence of the so-called 'Fuzhou Police Overseas Service Station’ located on Capel Street in Dublin.

The presence of this office has been raised with the Embassy of China by officials in my Department and discussions are ongoing. Officials are continuing to consult across Government to address this issue and to ensure the appropriate application of relevant international and domestic law.

I can assure the Deputy that engagement between the Irish and Tunisian authorities is continuing on this case, which remains a priority.

The Embassy of Ireland in Rabat, which is accredited to Tunisia, is actively engaged on the case and providing direct consular assistance to the citizen concerned.

As the Deputy will appreciate, as with all consular cases, it would not be appropriate to comment on the specific details of the case.
