Corrections to booklet information

Summary

Birmingham relayed concerns about the booklet’s contact points and missing embassy addresses. The Minister agreed to add corrections and embassy details.

Are there any plans to produce a second edition or to review the contents? I ask that question on the basis that, having met the Federation of Irish Societies, the Minister will be aware that they, while welcoming the publication of the booklet, expressed reservations about the contents. In particular, they have some doubts about the wisdom of some of the contact points suggested. Has the Minister any plans to take account of that advice?

Comment on this

The Deputy is correct. The booklet was published at the end of July and the federation, when they visited this House in September, made a point about some of the locations which I visited when I was in London. I should like to tell the Deputy that we will add a fly sheet to the back of the document correcting the information.

Another complaint was that the addresses of Irish embassies abroad were not given.

We will give them.
