Question:100 Mr. Barry asked the Minister for the Marine if he expects any tangible developments following the visit here of the US Canadian maritime business delegation in September, 1992; and if he will make a statement on the matter.
Written Answers. - Ireland-US/Canada Shipping Links.
The St. Lawrence Seaway Trade Mission visited Dublin on 21 September as part of their European trade promotion tour. During the course of this visit there was a useful exchange of information between the St. Lawrence delegation, shipping interests and Irish port authorities, including a special session on Irish ports moderated by my Department.
It is expected that this visit will result in the development of stronger shipping trade links between Ireland and the US/Canada.
