Written answers

Minister of State at the Department of Enterprise, Trade and Employment

I was in Lisbon on 28 and 29 April 2022 as part of an Enterprise Ireland-led trade mission to Portugal.

While in Portugal, I spoke at a number of Enterprise Ireland trade events and met with participating Enterprise Ireland client companies to learn about their export objectives. I also met with Portuguese buyers and highlighted potential opportunities for trade and partnership between Irish and Portuguese companies.

In addition, I also held bilateral meetings with my Portuguese counterparts to discuss areas in which Ireland and Portugal could deepen their trading relationships.
