My question to the Leader follows on from what Senator D'Arcy said. We all welcome the high-profile visit of the Taoiseach and Minister for Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation, Deputy Bruton, to China and the wonderful international coverage it is getting. It would be very appropriate for the Minister to come before the House and I ask the Leader to arrange that at an appropriate date. We should have an update on the international visits that have taken place in recent months, particularly the activities that took place over the St. Patrick's weekend. We could get a synopsis from the Minister on the level of contacts made and expected outcomes of the significant visits.
