I plan to visit the San Francisco area during the St. Patrick's day period and a comprehensive programme is being finalised by the Consulate General there. I look forward to raising a number of issues of important national interest during a wide range of engagements. This will include meetings with the Mayor of San Francisco, key local representatives, trade and tourism agencies, business and investment contacts and Irish community groups. I also look forward to thanking contacts in the United States for their ongoing support for the peace process and to updating them on recent developments.
