asked the Minister for Industry and Commerce if he will outline this year's trade fair programme.

Mr. R. Burke
On the assumption that the Deputy's question relates to trade fair participation aimed at the development of exports, I would point out that statutory responsibility for the promotion, assistance and development of exports rests with Córas Tráchtála and that the planning and organisation for participation in international trade fairs is primarily a matter for that body. With your permission, a Cheann Comhairle, I propose to have circulated with the Official Report a tabular statement listing the major international trade fairs and promotional events involving Córas Tráchtála participation this year.
Following is the statement:
