Amharc ar fhreagraEnterprise Ireland is the State Agency with primary responsibility for providing assistance to Irish companies seeking contracts abroad. The company referred to by the Deputy should be advised to contact their local Enterprise Ireland office to seek guidance from them on this matter.
My Department provides support to Irish companies operating abroad through close cooperation with Enterprise Ireland, to support its activities, and through direct support provided by our Embassies and Consulates abroad. Ireland's diplomatic representation to Ghana is handled by our Embassy in Nigeria, which will be available to provide any possible assistance to the company if it seeks to establish a presence in that country.
