Billy Timmins (Wicklow, Fine Gael)

Deputy McHugh's e-mail is still on the way from Donegal.

The Swedish Government is to close its embassy in Dublin in August. Is the Taoiseach concerned about that? Are there implications for the extension of external relations services set up after the Lisbon treaty for embassies across Europe? Is this a once-off and will he ask the Minister for Foreign Affairs to contact his counterpart in Sweden to seek to reverse the decision?
