I have questions on trade missions. Will the Minister outline his plans going forward? Will he identify what targets are being looked at and where? It will be interesting to learn which parts of the world are being concentrated on. As a member of this committee, I know many other parts of the world are very interested in trading with Ireland because of its reputation.

Everyone is in agreement about what happens during St. Patrick's week. As I said last year, we need a St. Patrick's week to promote small and medium-sized enterprises here. How does the Department quantify or qualify what comes from the missions that take place over St. Patrick's week?
