Currently there are vacancies at Ambassadorial level at our Embassies in Canberra, Holy See, Stockholm and Brussels. Irish Ambassadors are appointed by the President based on nominations by the Government. I will be submitting proposals to the Government in the very near future about filling existing Ambassadorial vacancies and others that are expected to arise over the next few months.
