Show Notes

Tánaiste and Minister for Foreign Affairs Simon Harris has said "no stone" will be left unturned to secure the release of an Irish woman, who was kidnapped along with seven other people from an orphanage in Haiti yesterday.

Gena Heraty, a native of Westport in Co Mayo, who is in her mid-50s, oversees the Sainte-Helene orphanage in the commune of Kenscoff, about 10km southeast of the capital, Port au Prince.

Ms Heraty was among seven staff taken, as well as a young child, according to Kenscoff Mayor Masillon Jean.

So, what happens now?

Joining Andrea to discuss is Peter Hanley from Clowns for Haiti, Declan Power, Security and Defence Analyst and more.
