"Mr President, I wish to draw the House’s attention to a matter of very serious urgency. A young Irishman and EU citizen, Michael Dwyer, was shot dead in Bolivia just over a year ago. Many observers believe he was murdered. As yet, Michael’s family, who are present in the House with us here tonight, have no answers as to how and why he died.
The only official information which has been given out is that he died as a result of being involved in a supposed plot to assassinate the President of Bolivia. This is very much out of character for someone who came from a loving, caring and apolitical family. However, the real issue here is that the information coming from the Bolivian authorities cannot be trusted. Their versions of events totally contradict each other, whether it is in forensic evidence, ballistic evidence or the very arguments that they put forward.
So I urge this House and the EU’s new High Commissioner for Foreign Affairs, Catherine Ashton, to support the Irish Government’s efforts to have an independent investigation established immediately. I do so with the support of Irish MEPs across parties, who will be writing to her in the near future."@en1
