Question:157 Mr. Andrews asked the Minister for Tourism and Trade the efforts, if any, being made by his Department to increase training available for exporters. [14166/95]
I propose to take Questions Nos. 141 and 157 together. My Department is not involved in the provision of training for exporters. However, I understand certain measures administered by An Bord Tráchtála (ABT) — who operate under the aegis of my Department — do have a training element e.g. workshops for first-time exporters. However as these activities are the day-to-day responsibility of ABT, inquiries as to future plans in this area should be addressed to the Board.
