You expect too much from a building.

Too long didn't read.

But the subject?

It's an embassy, not an "Irish" pub.

And they had better be in a pyramid shape.

You expect too much. Call you parents.

I'm not against emmigrants working in other countries (being one myself) but surely people working in an embassy should be natives of the country they're representing.

Oh FFS.

Locally recruited staff are hired to perform administration duties is the norm throughout most Embassies the world over. This reduces costs of sending out Foreign Affairs staff for simple duties, helps integration of Irish staff and gets a more sympathetic response from local Officials.

The Irish Flag may have been in the wash, the white bit in the middle gets grubbier quickest.

Irish Embassies,Consulates and Foreign Missions mostly deal with local queries and occasions. They are less suited for homesick Irish people. Commonwealth countries like Australia and Canada may have a Social Club in your area they you may be able to join.

An Irish flag flying outside the Irish embassy is hardly unreasonable?

They have to keep a low profile so that Mossad don't break in and nick the passports.

You seen the bloody mess that kind of thinking has caused around here recently?

Who gives a shít? You got your passport didn't you?

I expect an amateur-run operation, like most things associated with Irish civil, public and operational services.


So far, I've not been disappointed.

I've been pretty impressed with the Irish Department of Foreign Affairs overseas. I had to get my passport renewed and it was dealt with in less than 10 days, all done for around 170 Euro, for a 64 page 10 year passport.

Meanwhile, a British friend had to pay over 250 Euro and get the same service in 2 months. The passport could not even be dealt with directly, it had to go to Hong Kong then London, then back again. It was a bureaucratic nightmare cluster4uck which only the British uncivil service can administer.

As for the joke about Mossad using Irish passports, they are more than welcome to use mine if they want to send the Saudi Royal family back to Allah.

You make a valid point, but could you reconsider your views?
