Response from Irish Foreign Affairs Office, Dublin

Response from Irish Foreign Affairs Office, Dublin. Taoiseach. Mr. Bertie Ahern T.D. asked the Maltese authorities whether there was anything else they could do to assist. There was no further advice nor assistance the Maltese authorities could offer. With regard to the Irish Government seeking an independent judicial inquiry the Minister considers that such a move would imply a lack of confidence in the report of the Board of Inquiry and that would be likely damage our relations with Malta.

Letter from Jim Dougal EU unable to help

Letter from Jim Dougal, EU unable to help. European Commission cannot intervene as falls within the competence of the British authorities who look after the interests of their citizens anywhere in the world. The European Commission cannot help in problems relating to one individual citizen of a Member State and therefore does not have a mandate to act.
