In general terms, all of our diplomatic Missions across the EU and further afield are working on the issue of the UK’s decision to exit from the EU. Additional posts have been filled for our Embassies in London, Berlin, and Paris and the Permanent Representation of Ireland to the European Union in Brussels. As part of Global Ireland 2025, we will set up new consulates in Frankfurt and Cardiff. Additionally, we will shortly recruit staff locally in six EU missions: The Hague; Helsinki; Madrid; Rome; Vilnius; and Warsaw, to help with future of Europe-related communications and promote Ireland’s visibility in these EU countries post-Brexit. These measures remain under review. The Department will allocate additional staff resources as deemed necessary to further augment the level of support across Government and across the diplomatic mission network.
