I have visited the consulate office in Edinburgh, the embassy in London and the consulates in Boston and San Francisco. The staff there do great work. They have to give advice in respect of that to which people are entitled. It is a very good service.
I agree that the Irish Army members serving in Lebanon are doing great work. One in three, more than 30% of the population in Lebanon are people with refugee status. That says a great deal for Lebanon as a country
