Of the 631,000 passports issued last year, what proportion were issued abroad, for example, in Britain or the United States? The honorary consul service which is under review is extremely important and a service we all underestimate. Does the Tánaiste envisage that the review will advocate a substantial extension of the consulate service, in particular, throughout the United States?
