At this stage, there are currently no overseas trips planned between now and the end of 2015 for either myself or Minister of State, Damien English T.D.

However during the course of the year there will be three meetings of the Education Council which will require Ministerial attendance. These generally occur in February, May and December but the details have yet to be circulated by the General Secretariat to the Council of European Ministers.

Every opportunity to promote Ireland as a good place for doing business is availed during all overseas travel.
