Joint Oireachtas Committee on Foreign Affairs and Trade

Trade Promotion: Discussion (Resumed) with IBEC and IEA

4:30 pm

Mr. John Whelan:

We have raised it with the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade. Generally the Department is supportive but it has pointed out that there is a capital expenditure cost. We raised the matter with Mr. John A. Moran, Secretary General in the Department of Finance. When he is shuffling the budgets I hope he can take into account some of the small cost structures that may have to be put in place to enable Ireland House arrangements to go up throughout the globe.
