[39427/24]
View answerI can confirm that officials in my Department and the relevant Irish Embassy are aware of this case and are providing consular assistance to the citizen and their family. I understand that a dedicated case officer has been assigned and that they remain in ongoing contact with the family at this very difficult time.
I further understand that officials in the Irish Embassy have provided the family with information and guidance to assist them locally while they remain in the country, including in relation to securing suitable accommodation in close proximity to the hospital.
Please be assured that my Department will continue to provide all possible consular assistance to the family within the remit of the Department’s Consular Assistance Charter.
