I want to speak to the Tánaiste about the tragic case of Claire Cullen from Riverchapel near Courtown in County Wexford. Claire was killed in a hit-and-run incident while attending her brother's wedding in the Dominican Republic approximately five months ago. Claire is survived by her husband Ronan and her three kids. Claire was an extremely kind, popular and talented young woman and her death has left a huge void in the close-knit community of Riverchapel. Her family appreciate the efforts of the Kevin Bell Repatriation Trust, the consulate in Colombia and the Department of foreign affairs in the repatriation process. This is quite simply any family's worst nightmare. As the family are all based in Ireland, they are now seeking assurances from the Department of foreign affairs and the Government that all efforts will be made to assist them in their pursuit of justice, which is what Claire's family thoroughly deserve.
