We will amend the motion to read:

In respect of the recent review of consular and honorary consular services and the importance that appointments are based on reliable information this committee: agrees that the Head of the Consular Section meet with members of the joint committee to provide briefing on the method in which consuls and honorary consuls are appointed;

is concerned over the lack of data available regarding the location of the Irish community living overseas including their specific location;

and, asks that members are supplied with up to date information to ensure the service is fit for purpose and in locations where the Irish community are living.

Is the motion, as amended, agreed? Agreed.
