Eric J. Byrne
Ceist:312 Deputy Eric Byrne asked the Minister for Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation if his attention has been drawn to the role the international office of Dublin City Council plays in establishing international contacts on behalf of the city and Ireland incorporated; if, in view of the fact that his attention has been drawn to the fact that Dublin City Council has twinned with Beijing and Beijing and Dublin have entertained each city’s Mayor for the signing of the twinning arrangement, further in view of the fact that the communist party system as operated in China, clearly has representatives from the city of Beijing sitting on the central committee, he will explain the reason he did not deem it appropriate for the international office in Dublin City Council to be represented on the trade mission that he led recently; if he will now consider along with the Department of Foreign Affairs, liaising and engaging the participation of the city in all future exchanges; and if he will make a statement on the matter.
