Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 21 September 2021
323. Deputy Holly Cairns asked the Minister for Foreign Affairs the locations of all offices and buildings either owned or used by his Department or by public bodies and agencies that operate under his remit which are usually open to the public to access services. [44913/21]
View answerThe Department of Foreign Affairs occupies twelve buildings in the State. The locations of those that have reception areas to which members of the public normally have access are set out in the following table.
The operation of our public offices has necessarily been restricted due to health and safety considerations arising from the COVID-19 pandemic. In line with our continued scaling up of services, my Department is actively planning for the opening of our public offices for the processing of urgent applications for those renewing their passport. This service will resume initially in the public office of the Passport Service in Dublin and we will be making a public announcement on the specific date very soon.
A unique feature of the Department is the global network of pubic offices operated through our Embassies and Consulates overseas, providing services to the Irish diaspora as well as a space for the promotion of Irish interests. Details of all our missions abroad are available on www.dfa.ie.
There are no public bodies or agencies under the remit of the Department.
