"Hello Mr. Hyun-Seok it is a pleasure to speak to you. I have your Embassy's address as Clyde House, 15 Clyde Rd, Ballsbridge, Dublin 4, D04 EN28, Ireland. I was calling today to discuss our Visa policy in Ireland."

Mr. Spring clears his throat.

"The Republic of Ireland offers a Standard and Free Irish Visa which includes showing Passport at custom which will grant a 30 day free travel of the country. An additional 30 days may be procured for free through your embassy and through our Department of Foreign Affairs. While in Ireland anyone on Visa must comply with all local law, if any law is broken then the Visa holder will be brought directly to their respective embassy for deportation at the expense of their home nation. If a Visa expires while the Visa holder is still in Ireland, they will be deported, again at the expense of their home nation. If this is something we can agree to I will update our Visa registry to include the Republic of Korea. Additionally if you wish to add extra amenities for your citizens there is a tax, however I'm sure we can always negotiate."

"That is something I can put forward to the President and I am sure the President will quickly push it through to get accepted. Starting strong ties is something that the Republic of Korea has failed to do in the previous years. It'll be good to start of strong and help improve the relations between our two nations." the Minister paused before continuing "I have also faxed over some information, we should be useful for your department."

"Excellent I just received the fax."

You can hear him reading the fax in a mumbling tone.

"I see." he proclaimed.

"We do request that our security personnel be armed. Our security personnel typically carry Sig Sauer P226 Semi-auto pistols. They would be used as protection for the embassy and to protect the Ambassador. Ambassador Richard Donald will be assigned to the Embassy in Korea (south). We will send the max number of delegates and security personnel as well. We understand that the building will belong to the Republic of Korea."

"As for your embassy in Dublin, it will be deemed Republic of Korea soil, your country will own the building, until you decide you wish to leave. You are authorized 30 Diplomatic Personnel, 30 Mission Staff, and 22 Security Personnel. The security personnel are able to be armed, however firearms must be registered at Customs. All Korean Nationals will be subject to Irish Law. We also will allow extradition of your citizens."

"We look forward to continued friendship."

"Although we don't permit firearms to be used, I am sure we can work on something with the Ministry of Public Safety to allow your security services to be armed while they are at the embassy. They would need be registered, and a license would need to be issued for every person who will be using a firearm. You will be subject to Korean laws regarding firearms once this has been agreed." the minister paused taking a drink before continuing "That is fine, I understand and will support the Republic of Ireland in any way shape or form that Korea can if a Korean national does break Irish Law"

"Of course we agree to all everything. If it comes down to our guards are not to be armed with firearms, I'm sure we could work something else out. We understand that while our dignitaries and citizens are in Korea they will have to obey Korean Law. I am very pleased that we where able to come to this arrangement. Thank you so much for your time." Mr. Spring would pause briefly to here if Mr. P'an Hyun-Seok had anything else to say. If not he would hang up.
