I propose to take Questions Nos. 78 and 94 together.
The aim of the 'Ireland’s Global Footprint 2025’ initiative is to double the impact and scope of Ireland’s overseas footprint in the period to 2025, enhancing our ability to advance our strategic international goals, and to promote our interests internationally.
A detailed process of engagement to advance the initiative is underway involving all relevant Departments and State Agencies.
A finalised plan will be ready for consideration by Government in the coming weeks, and it is envisaged that the initiative will be launched to coincide with the St. Patrick’s Day period.
