In launching 'Global Ireland 2025', the Government committed to the most ambitious renewal and expansion of Ireland’s international presence ever undertaken.
We committed to deepening our network of missions overseas by strengthening our presence in key existing locations, and opening new offices to enable us to leverage opportunities to grow trade and inward investment, to further strengthen political relationships with our partners and promote our values, and to support Irish citizens and our diaspora abroad.
Since August 2018, new embassies have opened in Wellington, Bogotá, Amman, Santiago de Chile, Manila, Rabat, and Kyiv. The Irish Aid office in Monrovia was also upgraded to an Embassy. In the same period, Irish consulates general have opened in Mumbai, Vancouver, Cardiff, Frankfurt, Los Angeles, and Manchester.
These additional missions bring our number of embassies to sixty-nine and our number of consulates general to seventeen. There are also 11 multilateral and other missions. A list of all current Irish missions is provided below and, in addition, we expect to open missions in Dakar, Lyon, Miami and Toronto in the coming months.
The network of resident Irish diplomatic Missions overseas will continue to be kept under review. In the case of Embassy Kyiv, all staff have been temporarily relocated.
