I have not undertaken any trade missions since I was appointed Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport in March. However, while I was representing the Government at St. Patrick's Day events in India, I had a number of meetings which were focused on improving trade and tourism links between our countries.

I will consider any invitations to participate in trade missions as and when they arise.
