I want to add to Deputy Noel Grealish's sentiments. There are exceptional people working in the consular services who are a credit to the country, particularly when one sees them working on the ground. It has been consistently recognised, but this year will be more challenging for many of our embassies, particularly in Europe. There is never a problem with the consular services and the staff are a credit to the Civil Service and the State.
