Vol. 423 No. 4

Written Answers. - Ireland-US/Canada Shipping Links.

Peter Barry

Ceist:

100 Mr. Barry asked the Minister for the Marine if he expects any tangible developments following the visit here of the US Canadian maritime business delegation in September, 1992; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

The St. Lawrence Seaway Trade Mission visited Dublin on 21 September as part of their European trade promotion tour. During the course of this visit there was a useful exchange of information between the St. Lawrence delegation, shipping interests and Irish port authorities, including a special session on Irish ports moderated by my Department.

It is expected that this visit will result in the development of stronger shipping trade links between Ireland and the US/Canada.
