Under the Vienna Conventions, only people with diplomatic rank have full diplomatic immunity. Administrative and technical agents do have diplomatic immunity, but only for actions taken "in the course of their duties."

But it wouldn't matter: documents and archives of the state are inviolable no matter where they are. And the property of a diplomatic mission must remain free of search and seizure.

I can't wait for some Irish cop to start a massive diplomatic incident because some embassy worker happened to be in the wrong neighbourhood.

I think this is more likely to bite as it pertains to Ireland as a friendly business environment than it does to Ireland as a diplomatic partner.

Yeah but the diplomatic disaster would have far more entertaining visuals.
