The Export Trade Council was last convened on 7 February by my predecessor Minister Charles Flanagan TD. On that occasion the agenda featured discussions on Brexit related developments, the new Trade, Investment and Tourism Strategy, Ireland Connected, and a review of Local Market Team plans submitted by Local Market Teams in priority markets.
I had hoped to chair a further meeting of the Council on 27 June. However my involvement in the talks in Northern Ireland necessitated the rescheduling of this meeting at short notice.
The next meeting will most likely take place in the autumn at a date to be determined.
