I acknowledge the tremendous work done by the consular services abroad. Unfortunately, when there is an accident abroad, the first port of call is the local Deputy who will then ring the embassy or consulate. A telephone call from an embassy or a consulate to a family affected gives them comfort that there is somebody who can handle the situation. Will the Minister, please, pass on to consular services staff our appreciation of the tremendous work they do?
