Senators should be used as spokespersons by Departments. As a former Minister of State I understand how difficult it is for Ministers to leave the jurisdiction at the head of trade delegations to seek industrial investment for this country. As the Government spokesperson on trade, enterprise and employment I would be particularly interested to work with the IDA and Enterprise Ireland in pursuit of their policies and in attracting industry to the BMW region which is supposed to get 40% of all investment from abroad.
