The table below sets out the total number of staff (diplomatic staff, administrative and technical staff, and service staff) notified to the Department of Foreign Affairs by each resident diplomatic mission under Article 10 of the Vienna Convention on Diplomatic Relations 1961.

This information is based on Article 10 notifications received by this Department as of 7 February 2022. The number of staff fluctuates regularly due to the staff rotations of other states.

Locally engaged staff are not notified to the Department of Foreign Affairs and this Department does not hold information in relation to the number of locally engaged staff at resident diplomatic missions in Ireland.
