Eamon Gilmore (Dún Laoghaire, Labour)

It is a question of co-ordinating Ireland's overall efforts abroad. It involves the embassies and the various agencies which represent and work for Ireland abroad, including Enterprise Ireland, the IDA and others in tourism, food and so on. The Government's objective is to ensure we get the maximum co-ordinated approach and impact from our entire presence abroad and to give that presence abroad a renewed focus on trade and business.
