Date: Tue 24th Jul, 2018 | 15:38
"I have today written to the President of the Hellenic Republic, H.E. Mr. Prokopis Pavlopoulos, to express my sympathies with the families of those who lost their lives and livelihoods in the tragic fires in the Attica region.
Following my visit to Greece and my meeting with him and the Presidents of Italy and Portugal, I am very conscious of the resilience of the Greek people, who should be assisted by all of us in these difficult times.
In the letter to President Pavlopoulos I offered, on behalf of the people of Ireland, our deepest condolences and our solidarity."
