I am aware of this case and wish to acknowledge that this has been a very difficult time for the family concerned.

I can assure the Deputy that the Consular Assistance Unit in my Department is in ongoing contact with the family, and that the Embassy of Ireland in Madrid continues to engage with the Spanish authorities on the matter.

As with all consular cases, it would not be appropriate to discuss the specific details of the case.
