View answerMy Department currently has one member of staff at the Permanent Representation of Ireland to the European Union, Brussels. Their role is to represent Ireland and the Department and undertake various functions consistent with the Department’s strategic objectives and in contributing to the wider effort to project a coherent image of a modern, dynamic and progressive country. Prior to August 2021, my Department had no staff based in the European Union in Brussels.
