On the matter of bilateral relations between Ireland and Nigeria, two issues arise in regard to trade. A former Minister of State at the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade, Deputy Joe Costello, led a delegation to Lagos approximately two years ago with our development agencies and financial institutions. Are more Irish industries being set up in Nigeria as a consequence? Are investors going to Nigeria as a result of the visit and various other activities? Nigeria has the largest economy in Africa and it depends significantly on oil. How has the fall in oil prices affected the Nigerian economy? Is it a big issue in the election campaign?
