Estimated 100 Irish in area as Government offers help for Nepal earthquake

Around 100 Irish people in Nepal were affected by the devastating 7.8 magnitude earthquake that ravaged the region at the weekend.

Many Irish citizens in the area have already contacted the Department of Foreign Affairs which is providing consular assistance.

“Our consular response team in Dublin is liaising closely with our team at the Embassy of Ireland in New Delhi which is accredited to Nepal,” said Minister for Foreign Affairs Charlie Flanagan. “We will continue to provide consular advice and assistance over the coming days as the situation evolves.”
