Thank you for raising this case. My Department is aware of the case and of the recent developments regarding the upcoming Court of Appeal date on 4 December on the Greek island of Lesvos.

As the individual concerned is a German citizen, consular assistance is being provided by the German Embassy in Athens, and has been since 2018. I note that there are very strong ties to Ireland in this case, however, and for that reason, Irish officials have previously been in contact with the individual, his family and the German Embassy in Athens regarding this case, in the event that additional support was required.

The Department of Foreign Affairs, through the Embassy of Ireland in Athens, will continue to follow any developments as they arise.
