I think, from a PR perspective, the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade is one of the better Departments, from what I see as a social media user and somebody who reads three newspapers a day. I see the work of the Department highlighted on a regular basis. It is a compliment, not that there is anything wrong with having a firm in place in the first place but it was a question nonetheless. I have to bring it back to the number of interactions the Department has about passports and the fact that 400 representations are made by Members of the Oireachtas. I would love to know it on a county breakdown but do not tell me because I probably should not know.
