227. Deputy Paul Donnelly asked the Minister for Foreign Affairs and Trade the date each Irish ambassador and or consul general have been deployed to the current position; and when will each of those positions be next up for redeployment, in tabular form. [5560/26]
View answerAmbassadors of Ireland are appointed by the President on the advice of the Government on foot of their nomination by the Minister for Foreign Affairs and Trade. The start dates for all current Irish Ambassadors are provided in tabular form below. As a Government decision on their successor determines when the posting of an Ambassador comes to a conclusion, it is not possible to provide the Deputy with a list of dates on which each of these postings will conclude.
The start dates for all current Consuls General are provided in the table below. Consuls General are typically assigned to their role for four years, however this can change based on the business needs of the Department.
