European Council
Dail Éireann — 2023-04-25
============================================================

Matt Carthy (SF), Cavan-Monaghan

Events in Sudan since the Taoiseach’s return from the European Council represent a tragedy for the people of Sudan, first and foremost. I am sure the Taoiseach will join me in welcoming the announcement of a 72-hour ceasefire. It would be appropriate to commend and thank all those who have been involved in bringing a sizeable number of Irish citizens in Sudan to safety already. I understand there is still in excess of 100 citizens still to be evacuated. I would appreciate it if the Taoiseach could provide an update on that. It would also be appropriate to thank our European colleagues who have assisted in the evacuation efforts to date.
