369. Deputy Catherine Murphy asked the Minister for Foreign Affairs if his Department has procured new buildings to house the new Irish Consulate General Offices in Lyon, Miami and Toronto. [6222/22]
View answerThe decision to open new Consulates General in Lyon, Miami and Toronto was taken as part of the Government's Global Ireland initiative to double the scope and impact of Ireland’s global footprint to 2025. The Consulates General are scheduled to open in late 2022. No Consulate premises or official accommodation have been procured to date. Such procurement will commence later this year and will be conducted in line with public procurement obligations.
