When I look at the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade, I see a Department which, through no one's fault, is somewhat consumed by Brexit and Northern Ireland. Considering that people agreed about the intention to increase that presence globally for very good reasons, what practical steps are being undertaken within the Taoiseach's own Department to make sure it happens outside the obvious constraints of Brexit and Northern Ireland and the internal pressures that leads to?
