I propose to take Questions Nos. 158 to 160, inclusive, together.

The last review of Honorary Consul Service was conducted in 1993. The question of appointing a new honorary consul for the Channel Islands will be considered in the context of the review of Ireland’s honorary consul network that is currently taking place.

The following is the list of honorary consul appointments made since 2007.

In addition we are awaiting formal acceptance of our nominees for the positions of Honorary Consul in:

Kazakhstan/Almaty

Kenya/Nairobi

Nepal/Kathmandu

Turkey/Antalya
