Minister for Foreign Affairs Micheal Martin is hoping to speak with his Bolivian counterpart today about the death of Michael Dwyer.
Minister Martin wants to establish the facts surrounding the killing of Dwyer last Tuesday in Bolivia. The 24-year-old from Tipperary, along with three others, was shot by police in Santa Cruz. The Bolivian authorities claim that Dwyer was involved in a plan to assassinate President Evo Morlaes.
Dwyer’s father Martin backs Minister Martin’s decision to call for an inquiry.
“We spoke to Micheal Martin ourselves yesterday. He phoned and we stated to him that we would like to have some answers. . . I think it's a good idea having the inquiry. Hopefully something will come out of it then and try and clear his name," said Martin.
Minister Martin has said he will fully co-operate with the Bolivian authorities in investigating the matter.
