Irish deputy PM to meet Irish Ambassador to Mauritius

Ireland's deputy prime minister, Tanaiste Eamon Gilmore, will meet the Irish Ambassador to Mauritius, Brendan McMahon, to discuss the publication of the images.

He said he was shocked by the pictures and hoped to bring the issue to the attention of authorities in Mauritius.

This is a deeply distressing development for the families of Michaela and John and demonstrates a total lack of respect for their feelings and rights.

The Government is determined to make a strong protest about this matter to the Government of Mauritius.

My Department will continue to be available to offer support and advice to the families of Michaela and John and will assist them in any way we can.

– Ireland's deputy prime minister Tanaiste Eamon Gilmore
