Covid-19 (Foreign Affairs and Trade): Statements
Dail Éireann — 2020-06-03
============================================================

Simon Coveney (FG), Cork South-Central

If we can get that individual's details, I will make sure that our consular team talks to him. We are speaking on a daily basis to many Irish citizens abroad and trying to help them in any way we can. My understanding is that long-term residents in Spain and elsewhere receive supports that are available there, not the equivalent that would be delivered here. Within different countries people get different support levels in terms of social protection and so on.
We will certainly make contact in order to ensure that the individual the Deputy spoke about is getting all of the available supports he should be able to get from the Spanish Government.
