Caoimhghín Ó Caoláin (Cavan-Monaghan, Sinn Fein)

The Taoiseach referred to an upcoming conference in September. Will he share with the House the detail of what exactly is intended? Is it something akin or related to the Washington conference for trade and investment held in early 1997? If it is not such an initiative should we be considering one in terms of job retention and creation in this State and of generating interest in regard to the potential and opportunities Ireland offers in terms of inward investment? Perhaps the Taoiseach will share with the House what exactly is proposed and will provide us with a sense that is the course he is undertaking.
