144. Deputy Willie O'Dea asked the Tánaiste and Minister for Foreign Affairs if, in view of the circumstances in correspondence (details supplied), anything can be done to assist a person to be relocated to Ireland; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [55921/23]
Amharc ar fhreagraI can assure the Deputy that officials in my Department and staff in our Embassy are aware of this case and are providing consular assistance. Consular officials have been in regular contact with the family of the Irish citizen concerned and have provided advice and guidance to them.
Matters relating to medical repatriation fall within the remit of the Health Service Executive.
I can appreciate that the circumstances of this case are difficult and upsetting for the family. Please be assured that my Department will continue to provide consular assistance to the citizen where possible and appropriate.
