Foreign Policy
Seanad Éireann — 2025-11-27

Aubrey McCarthy (IND), University of Dublin

I accept the Minister of State's assurance regarding our embassy getting involved over there. The Minister of State also mentioned in her statement about the other school in the Kebbi state. It shows a pattern that is not welcome. Certainly it should be stated to the Nigerian ambassador here. In other areas of human rights, I was attending a protest recently at the Nigerian embassy regarding students who had been arrested and imprisoned for their homosexuality. It is 2025 and it is unacceptable. I thank the Minister of State for her assurances, but I ask her to arrange this as a matter of absolute priority.
