International offices: guide
A guide to the work of our nine international offices who work to promote Scottish interests overseas and strengthen our relationships with countries and continents.
Ireland
Located within the British Embassy in Dublin, Scottish Government Ireland was established in 2016 and works to build on an already strong relationship. The Office is led by a Head of Office, Deputy Head of Office, and Culture, Business, and Events Manager. They work closely and co-locate with two senior specialists from Scottish Development International, who provide invaluable support to Scottish companies seeking to expand and sell their products or services in Ireland.
The relationship with Ireland is a priority for Scotland. Both countries share a rich history that has been shaped by our proximity, close communities, shared culture, and common experiences.
The work of the Ireland Office is primarily guided by the Ireland Scotland Joint Bilateral Review, which was coproduced by both Scottish and Irish governments. The Review recognises how vital partnership working is across government-to-government engagement, business and the economy, diaspora, culture, research and education, and rural and island communities.
