36 Mr. Deasy asked the Minister for Foreign Affairs the plans he has to establish embassies in Brazil, Morocco and Algeria; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [22376/00]
There is a strong interest in developing and building on the good relations between Ireland and Brazil, Morocco and Algeria. While there are no immediate plans to open resident embassies in these three countries, the matter is under active and regular review having regard to Ireland's national and international interests and bearing in mind the availability of the necessary resources to maintain them.
