Madam, - We undersigned members of the Dáil and Seanad Éireann are concerned at the lack of any comprehensive security plan to secure the safety of the three Irishmen known as the Colombia Three (James Monaghan, Niall Connolly and Martin McCauley).
Believing that because of the high-profile nature of their case, there is nowhere safe for them in Colombia following their acquittal on the more serious charge, we call on the Colombian authorities to ensure the immediate and safe return of the three men to their respective families. - Yours, etc.,
FINIAN McGRATH, TD;
