While some details are yet to be finalised, I am currently proposing to undertake trade and investment missions during the first half of the year to the Gulf Region, India, China and within Europe. This programme includes a mix of established and developing markets. Missions are also planned during the year to the US, UK, Germany, France, a number of other EU Member States, the UAE, South Africa and West Africa. There will be more than one mission in respect of a number of countries. A number of these missions will be led by other Ministerial colleagues who will confirm their respective programmes in due course, and will be supported by relevant agencies in conjunction with Enterprise Ireland and IDA Ireland, as appropriate.
