The 2017 budget allocation from my Department for InterTrade Ireland is €7.96m. 

I fully understand how important it is that InterTrade Ireland has a sound and strong financial footing. This is especially the case given the important work the Body will play in helping SMEs address the challenges that Brexit will present. That is why I made additional funding available to InterTrade Ireland for both 2016 and 2017. I will also keep its requirements under review as we move forward.
