Mother of murder victim welcomes Taoiseach apology over nationality mix-up

The mother of an Irish woman who was raped and killed in India praised Taoiseach Leo Varadkar for personally apologizing to her as his department made a mistake when first asked to see him .

She praised him and her daughter Joline for nearly two hours, but warned that "behavior is better than eloquence."

Danielle McLaughlin (28) from Bu Dengal from Co Donegal turned out to have died in a remote location in Canacona in March last year, a Gore region popular for vacationers.

Her mother sought to meet with Mr. Varadkar to discuss ways to better support the family when the family died abroad.

However, because Ms. McLaughlin was on the UK passport, Taoiseach department first redirected her to the UK Foreign Ministry.

"This is the first thing he did and I apologize for what happened (departmental mistake)," she said.

"He shook hands, he listened to the most important thing, was with us, the meeting lasted nearly two hours."

She said: "Because the Irish Foreign Ministry has embassies in Delhi, they send someone to observe the trial every few months."

"We very much hope that our Taoist church will keep its promise, so we can say ultimately that our government helped us," she says It was.

"Behavior is better than eloquence, I am very pleased that Leo has agreed to help us, so now, we hope that he will do it truly.

"The conference was very constructive and we were very welcomed and during the meeting Leo Varadkar confirmed that we are fully thankful for it."

Mr. Branigan said her family wanted to pass legislation so that Irish families who lost their families in the future can receive support.

"We want to make sure that" Daniel's amendment "was approved and that families who meet with relatives abroad do not feel we are being treated or are undergoing treatment."

"I did a very useful and constructive meeting with Mr. Brannigan and her daughter Jolene," Varadkar said.

"I have pityed them for Daniere's tragic death and I apologize for the mistakes my department has made about citizenship.

"Mr. Branigan suggested how the government can better support her and other families in similar difficult situations such as appointment of family contact officers, revision of the victim's charter, more written information, counseling, etc. I will monitor and monitor our diplomat's overseas trial. "
