Question:53 Mr. Barrett asked the Minister for Foreign Affairs his international travel plans for the coming 12 months. [16481/98]
I propose to take Questions Nos. 11 and 53 together.
A table of my international travel plans for the next 12 months is provided for the information of the Deputies. The table includes various meetings in the framework of the European Union and the Organisation for Security and Cooperation in Europe.
I will be attending the General Assembly in New York in September. In the course of this visit, as is the usual practice, I will hold bilateral meetings with other Foreign Ministers. I will also be accompanying the President on her State visit to Canada in October of this year.
