Mr. Rossa Mulcahy:

We do not have an attaché as such. We have military advisers based in Brussels and New York. They have been hugely beneficial over the years in terms of our engagement at political and military levels in the headquarters of the European Union and in New York. We do not have attachés deployed around the world. We would look to target them to certain countries that would be of political and strategic interest to the State of Ireland. As the Secretary General rightly said, that would be done in consultation with the Department of foreign affairs and the Department of Defence.
