To ask the Minister for Communications, Energy and Natural Resources if he will provide details of all official foreign trips he and Ministers of State in his Department plan to take between now and the end of 2015; if he will provide details of whom he and the Ministers of State in his Department will be meeting on these trips; the purpose of these trips; the duration of these trips; his plans to use all of these trips to promote Ireland as a good place for doing business and as a destination for foreign direct investment; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

At present, Minister of State McHugh does not have any foreign trips scheduled for 2015 related to this Department. As a matter of course, and where appropriate, we both take the opportunities presented by official foreign trips to promote Ireland as a good place for investment and for doing business.
