Written answers

Minister for Foreign Affairs and Trade

My Department, which has responsibility for Vote 27 (International Cooperation) and Vote 28 (Foreign Affairs and Trade), is currently examining the detail of the Programme for Government. My Department will prepare a new Statement of Strategy which will encompass the Programme for Government commitments. The cost of the delivery of this Strategy will be met from the Department’s Vote allocations. My Department will engage on this with the Department of Public Expenditure and Reform as part of the annual Budget estimates process.
