Neale Richmond (Dublin Rathdown, Fine Gael)

All our staffing in each country is done on a case-by-case basis. This year in the budget, additional finances were provided to increase the diplomatic footprint. We have also increased the staffing in, for example, our new consulates in Melbourne and Vancouver. During the financial crash, we maintained our embassies in the Nordic countries, such as those referred to by the Deputy. We have local and diplomatic staff in every single one of our embassies. I would absolutely advocate, and I know the ambassadors and relevant diplomatic staff will always advocate, for more but we have fully staffed teams based on the business needs of those respective embassies.
