The Deputy will be aware that Ireland is represented at two Diplomatic Missions in Australia, with an Embassy located in Canberra and a Consulate General located in Sydney. My Department keeps staffing levels at these Missions as well as at its network of 94 Missions abroad under continuing review. There are no immediate plans to increase the number of staff at the Embassy of Ireland in Canberra.
